Step into the streets of Beijing, where lanterns glow, dumplings steam, and history stands tall!

This Peann Jan comprehension pack brings the sights, sounds and tastes of China’s capital city to life through three carefully structured texts. Each version builds steadily, supporting readers as they grow.
Starter focuses on key reading skills like retrieval and sequencing. Standard encourages children to think about word meanings and make simple inferences. Stretch invites deeper thinking, asking pupils to consider the author’s intent and explain their ideas clearly.
Across all levels, children discover that Beijing is the capital of China and one of the busiest cities in Asia. They explore famous landmarks like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, learn about traditional foods such as dumplings and Peking duck, and find out what makes Chinese New Year so special, from fireworks to red lanterns. The texts also describe the changing seasons and explain why so many tourists come to explore, eat and learn.

What’s included:

  • 3 reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
  • Fully differentiated comprehension questions
  • Black-and-white printable format
  • Answer keys with skill tags for teacher reference
