Biographies/Profiles of Martin Luther King Jr, Oprah Winfrey, Olaudah Equiano and Mae Jamison with questions and activity suggestions on each.

These are original reading comprehensions aimed at years 5 and 6 and follow on from part 5 of my reading comprehension series. Questions are based on questions from the new style year 6 SATS papers. They are written by a specialist History teacher and examiner.
Table of Contents
3 text types:
1. Chapter 6 of an original time-travel story set in the time of Robin Hood.
2. A non-fiction text about horses
3. A short story about honesty that could be used in a PSHE or RE focus. These sheets can be used a test, for guided reading or a stimulus for a history or PSHE lesson.
3 original texts and reading comprehension questions that can be used for revision for the SATS, for guided reading or general class work. Texts types are an original fiction story, a non-fiction text about Food Around the World and a cake recipe. The story is part 5 and can be used in conjunction with parts 1-4, but is also designed so it can be used on its own as well. Questions are based on the 2016 SATS reading paper and government sample materials. The recipe task is more straightforward than the others and may be useful for pupils working below the expected standard. (Please note that the story does touch briefly and sensitively on the topic of divorce and family breakdown.)
