Who wakes up when the sun goes down?
Explore the secret lives of nighttime creatures in this engaging Nocturnal Animals comprehension pack, perfect for helping young readers build confidence while learning about the natural world.
This printable resource includes three thoughtfully levelled texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), allowing learners at different stages to access key information and grow their reading skills. Early levels focus on fact-finding, vocabulary, and sequencing. As pupils progress, they explore cause and effect, infer meaning, and begin to reflect on the author’s purpose and viewpoint.
Across all levels, children will discover that nocturnal animals are awake at night and rest during the day. They’ll explore how features like sharp hearing, silent movement, and special eyesight help animals survive in the dark. They’ll also learn why night-time activity helps animals stay safe, find food, and avoid heat or predators wherever they live, from forests and deserts to city gardens.
What’s included:
- 3 differentiated reading passages
- Matching comprehension questions for each level
- Full answer key with skill tags for quick marking
- Traffic light self-assessment for pupil reflection
- Black-and-white, print-friendly format
Perfect for cross-curricular lessons on habitats, adaptations, and animal behaviour - all while strengthening comprehension skills!
