Key Stage 2 Christmas Worksheets for Reading - KS2 Reading Comprehension

Are you looking for Christmas worksheets for reading for your class? This set of Christmas reading comprehension questions focuses on the Christmas story, with a Christmas reading passage and 12 task cards, plus KS2 reading challenge cards. The story, Starbright’s Important Mission, tells the Christmas story through the eyes of the star. There are then 12 task cards requiring the children to reflect on their understanding of the story.

The task cards focus on skills such as:

1. Be an emotion detective: describe the emotion of the characters at specific points of the story
2. Draw ‘mood journeys’ for three of the main characters
3. Find the evidence to support key information
4. Longer answers, requiring students to quote accurately from the text

There are answers provided for each of the reading comprehension task cards. The answers are detailed and thorough, with sample answers where necessary.

After the main task cards, there is also an example card, so that the children know what the ‘mood journeys’ should look like. There are also three challenge cards, to extend pupils’ learning if needed.

The passages and activities could be printed out and given to students as a pack. This would make it perfect for a Christmas supply teacher lesson.

There’s not much to prepare… All you need to do is print the sheets out and hand to your class.
