Reading Comprehension Worksheet - "The Smartest Giant in Town"

This is a worksheet based on Julia Donaldson’s “The Smartest Giant in Town” with 10 tasks similar in style to those that children encounter in SATs papers. There are questions about the characters, the events, the grammar (parts of speech), the lesson the story teaches, but there is also a colouring task, and an extra challenge task where children can practise expressing themselves and their own opinions as well as practise writing. Types of tasks include: multiple choice, open-ended, matching, true/false.

There is an answer sheet an adult (teacher or parent) can use and a colouring page - children earn a “giant footprint” for each mark and can colour the footprints in.

I have piloted this worksheet with children aged 6-7. The children enjoyed it, but some will need support if they are not yet confident readers.

Please leave a review if you can, as this is a new account and I would like people to know what the resources are like.
