Spark curiosity and build key reading skills with this Great Fire of London comprehension pack!
This printable, black-and-white resource includes three differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch) to support a range of reading abilities. The passages explore the events of 1666, including how the fire began in a bakery on Pudding Lane, how it spread, and how London rebuilt afterwards.
Early levels focus on retrieval, sequencing, and vocabulary. More advanced levels develop inference, justification, and the author’s intent. A simple traffic light self-assessment encourages pupils to reflect on their understanding at every stage.
What’s included:
- 3 differentiated reading passages
- Matching comprehension questions for each level
- Full answer key with skill tags
- Student traffic light self-assessment
- Black-and-white printable format
- 3 Easel Activities (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
Perfect for combining literacy and history in a way that’s structured, accessible, and ready to go, whether you’re printing or assigning digitally!
