What does kindness look like in the playground?

In this heartwarming comprehension pack, children meet Aaliyah, a thoughtful girl who notices someone sitting alone and quietly decides to do something kind. It is a gentle, relatable story about inclusion, courage, and small choices that can change someone’s day. The pack includes three versions of the same story to support confident reading progression.

Reading skills develop steadily across the three levels. The Starter text focuses on early reading strategies such as retrieval and sequencing. The Standard version supports vocabulary development and light inference. The Stretch version encourages deeper thinking through author’s intent, emotional nuance, and cause and effect. A simple traffic light self-assessment helps students reflect on their understanding.

Across all three levels, the core events remain the same. Aaliyah plays tag with her friends, notices a girl sitting quietly near a tree, hesitates, and then chooses to be kind. The next day, both girls are smiling and ready to play together.

What’s included:

• Three reading texts at different levels (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
• Comprehension questions with skill tags
• Black-and-white child-friendly illustration
• Traffic light self-assessment
• Complete answer key

A perfect pick for exploring kindness, courage, and connection in your classroom.
