What can rocks tell us about the past? Let’s dig into fossils and find out!
This Peann Jan reading comprehension pack introduces learners to the fascinating world of fossils, from buried bones to ancient footprints. With three carefully differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), readers build confidence through structured progression. Early skills like retrieval and matching are developed first, before moving into higher-level thinking such as inference, vocabulary reasoning, and author’s intent.
Across all three levels, pupils learn that fossils are preserved remains or traces of plants and animals. They discover how fossils form, where they’re found, and why they matter. The texts also introduce body and trace fossils, sedimentary rock, and the important contributions of Mary Anning.
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
Unearth learning and spark curiosity with this rock-solid comprehension resource!
