What rises above the land, reaches into the clouds, and shapes our world? Mountains!
This Peann Jan reading comprehension pack introduces learners to one of Earth’s most dramatic landforms. With three carefully differentiated texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch), readers build confidence as they move from early reading skills like retrieval and matching to deeper thinking tasks including inference, vocabulary reasoning, and author’s intent.
Across all levels, pupils explore how mountains form, what features they share, and why they matter. They learn that mountains are usually over 600 metres (2,000 feet) high, can be made by tectonic plates or volcanoes, and often appear in long ranges like the Alps, the Rockies, or the Himalayas. From snow-capped peaks to forested slopes and deep valleys, the texts highlight how these mighty landscapes support wildlife, influence weather, and provide water to millions.
What’s included:
- Three black-and-white reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
- Matching question sets designed to support skill progression
- Answer keys with clear skill tags
- Built-in traffic light self-assessment system with child-friendly icons
Climb higher with this high-interest, geography-inspired comprehension resource!
