Explore the capital where parades, politics, and lamingtons meet!

This Peann Jan reading comprehension resource takes young readers on a journey to Canberra, the capital city of Australia, known for its famous buildings, sunny seasons, and a sponge cake topped with chocolate and coconut.
The three reading levels (Starter, Standard, and Stretch) support steady skill progression. Students begin with essential reading strategies like retrieval and sequencing. As confidence grows, they build up to using vocabulary in context, drawing inferences, and exploring the author’s intent.
Across all three levels, readers discover key facts about Canberra: it’s the capital of Australia, home to Parliament House and Lake Burley Griffin, with weather that changes by season and celebrations like Australia Day that fill the sky with fireworks. They’ll also find out why tourists love visiting its parks, museums, and national buildings.
**

  • Three differentiated texts
  • Black-and-white, printable format
  • Matching comprehension questions with skill tags
  • Answer key included
  • Traffic light self-assessment with child-friendly visuals

From lakeside walks to fireworks in the sky, discover what makes Canberra shine!
