Year 6 Reading Comprehension - What is Fast Fashion?
From catwalk to checkout in a flash, fast fashion moves quickly… but so do its consequences!
New trends hit the shops fast, but at what cost? This cross-curricular comprehension pack helps learners explore how clothes are made, the impact of fast fashion on people and the planet, and the small changes we can make to help.
With three clearly structured reading levels – Starter, Standard, and Stretch – this resource builds confidence through progressive challenge. Early texts focus on retrieval and sequencing. As learners move up, they begin to interpret vocabulary in context, compare viewpoints, and consider the author’s intent. It’s ideal for values-led reading, global citizenship links, or sparking class discussion.
Across all three versions, students will learn what fast fashion means and why it matters. They’ll explore how clothing affects the environment, examine working conditions in the fashion industry, and consider how personal choices and brand decisions can shape a more sustainable future.
What’s included:
3 reading levels to support progression
8–10 comprehension questions per level
Skill-tagged answer keys for each question
Black-and-white printable format
Traffic light self-assessment for student reflection
Spark discussion, build skills, and inspire change with one practical and well-structured pack!
