What happens when nature takes control? Let’s explore the power, and impact, of extreme weather!
This reading comprehension pack introduces learners to the science and human side of natural disasters. With three clear reading levels (Starter, Standard, and Stretch), pupils build skills step by step. Early texts focus on retrieval and basic sequencing, while the most challenging version encourages deeper thinking through vocabulary reasoning, bias, tone, and author’s intent.
Across all levels, readers explore key facts about natural disasters. They learn what qualifies as a natural disaster, what causes hurricanes, floods, and droughts, and how these events affect people’s homes, schools, safety, and food. The texts also explain how communities prepare or respond through early warnings, aid, and rebuilding and why it matters in a changing climate.
What’s included:
- Three black-and-white reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
- Matching comprehension question sets for each level
- Full answer keys with skill tags clearly marked
- Built-in traffic light self-assessment system
From swirling storms to silent droughts, help learners make sense of nature’s extremes!
