What made Benin one of Africa’s most remarkable kingdoms? Let’s explore its legacy.
This Peann Jan reading comprehension pack takes learners on a journey through the Kingdom of Benin, from its early rise in West Africa to its global connections and lasting cultural impact. With three clearly levelled reading texts (Starter, Standard, and Stretch), pupils build understanding step by step. Early texts focus on retrieval, sequencing, and vocabulary in context, while higher levels encourage deeper thinking through inference, author’s intent, and bias.
Across all three versions, readers discover where and when the Kingdom of Benin thrived, who ruled it, and how its society was structured. They learn about its world-famous bronze and ivory sculptures, what they represented, and how Benin traded with European powers such as Portugal. Pupils will also examine the British invasion of 1897 and consider the ongoing debate about the Benin Bronzes and cultural ownership today.
What’s included:
- Three black-and-white reading texts (Starter, Standard, Stretch)
- Matching comprehension question sets with visible skill tags
- Full answer key for each level
- Built-in traffic light self-assessment system
From powerful kings to priceless art, this resource brings Benin’s rich story to life!
