What rustles in the bushes, hoots from the trees, and hides behind ivy? Step into The Haunted Garden and find out!
This Peann Jan reading comprehension pack follows Maya as she faces her fears in a mysterious old garden. With three clearly differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), learners build confidence as they progress from early reading skills like retrieval and matching to deeper thinking tasks, including vocabulary reasoning, inference, and author’s intent.
Across all three levels, readers discover that the garden is old, overgrown, and believed to be haunted. They follow Maya as she bravely explores it, notices strange sounds and shapes, and finds natural explanations behind the mystery, such as a hooting owl and a statue hidden beneath vines. The story ends with a powerful message: fear often fades once we understand what we’re afraid of.
What’s included:
- Three black-and-white reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
- Matching question sets designed to support skill progression
- Answer keys with clear skill tags for every question
- Built-in traffic light self-assessment with child-friendly icons
A quietly spooky tale of courage and curiosity, perfect for thoughtful readers!
