This set of eight comprehension strategy templates for Matilda by Roald Dahl covers a range of comprehension techniques for before, during and after reading.

The comprehension strategies included are:

1. Predicting – Predict what the book might be about based on the cover and blurb before reading; then, predict what will happen in the chosen chapters.
2. Questioning – Create questions before and after reading the novel.
3. Visualising – Visualise the character, Mr Wormwood and the setting of Miss Honey’s Cottage.
4. Sequencing – Recall events that occurred in chosen chapters and sequence the major points.
5. Connecting – Make connections to self, to another text and to the world.
6. Summarising – Summarise the plot points to fit within a narrative structure.

These comprehension strategy templates are featured in the Matilda PACKAGE.
