Teal comprehension papers form the Foundation tier of the English Mastery series. They are designed to build secure, confident reading habits before students move on to exam‑style tasks and papers, like our Navy range. As Teal focuses on early skill development rather than exam technique, mark allocations are not included at this stage.
