This is a set of comprehensions about the celebrations for King Charles III’s Coronation. They are aimed at Lower Key Stage 2 (ages 7-9). The comprehensions cover what a coronation is, a short history of Charles’s life, how Charles and others are celebrating, ways that children can get involved and the King’s charitable projects. There are three differentiated booklets. The higher ability booklet has three pages of text for the children to read before they complete a range of questions that are aimed at extending more able readers. (18 questions) The middle and lower ability booklets have the text split into five separate pages with questions on each page. The middle ability has 14 questions and the lower ability contains 12 questions. There are colour and black & white versions of each booklet. Answers are also included. All of the documents are in the zip file. Perfect for using around the Coronation celebrations or for a topic on King Charles III. I’m looking forward to using these with my Year 3 class!
