This Peann Jan comprehension pack brings the sights, sounds and tastes of China’s capital city to life through three carefully structured texts. Each version builds steadily, supporting readers as they grow.
Starter focuses on key reading skills like retrieval and sequencing. Standard encourages children to think about word meanings and make simple inferences. Stretch invites deeper thinking, asking pupils to consider the author’s intent and explain their ideas clearly.

They explore famous landmarks like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, learn about traditional foods such as dumplings and Peking duck, and find out what makes Chinese New Year so special, from fireworks to red lanterns.
