First past the post have recently introduced mini comprehension series which have around 50 comprehensions in each book, both fiction and non fiction. The comprehension passage is about 4 paragraphs and no longer than half a page and there are 5 to 6 questions from this. I think they are called Mini Inference (cant be 100% sure). I started with these and found they were helpful to start with we are currently on book 3 and my DS is enjoying these books. Once we have finished this series we will move to longer comprehensions.
