What happens inside us when we feel afraid? Let’s find out.

This reading comprehension pack explores how fear works in the body and brain. With three carefully differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, and Stretch), pupils build confidence and understanding as they move from simple retrieval to deeper thinking. Early texts focus on sequencing and key vocabulary, while the most advanced version encourages inference, tone, and author’s intent.
Across all levels, readers learn that fear is a natural emotion that helps us stay safe. They discover how the brain (especially the amygdala) detects danger, what physical changes fear can cause, and how the body reacts with fight, flight, or freeze. Pupils also explore why we sometimes feel fear even when there’s no real threat, and how talking about it can help us feel more in control.

What’s included:

• Three black-and-white reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
• Matching comprehension questions for each level
• Skill-tagged answer keys for easy marking
• Traffic light self-assessment system built in

From racing hearts to split-second choices, help your learners understand the science behind this powerful emotion.
