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 carefully designed reading levels - Starter, Standard, and Stretch - this pack builds confidence through clear progression. Early texts support retrieval and sequencing, while later levels challenge pupils to interpret vocabulary, compare viewpoints, and consider the author’s intent. Perfect for global citizenship links, values-led reading, or sparking classroom discussion.
Across all three reading levels, students will learn what fast fashion means and why it matters. They will explore how clothes affect the environment and what working conditions can look like in the fashion industry. The texts also highlight how our choices influence waste and show how some brands are working to become more sustainable.
What’s included:
3 reading levels to support progression
8–10 comprehension questions per level
Full answer key with skill tags
Traffic light self-assessment for reflection
Black-and-white printable format
Spark discussion, build skills and inspire change with one practical and well-structured pack!
