What does kindness look like in the playground?
In this heartwarming comprehension pack, children meet Aaliyah, a thoughtful girl who notices someone sitting alone and quietly decides to do something kind. It’s a gentle, relatable story about inclusion, courage and small choices that can change someone’s day.
The pack includes three versions of the same story to support progression. The Starter text focuses on early reading skills like retrieval and sequencing. The Standard version builds confidence with vocabulary and light inference. The Stretch version encourages deeper thinking through author’s intent, emotional nuance and cause and effect.
Across all three, the core events remain the same. Aaliyah plays tag with her friends, notices a girl sitting quietly near a tree, hesitates, then chooses to be kind. The next day, both girls are smiling and ready to play together.
What’s included:
- Three reading texts at different levels
- Comprehension questions with skill tags
- Black and white child-friendly illustration
- Traffic light self-assessment
- Complete answer key
A perfect pick for exploring kindness, courage and connection in your classroom!
