Reading comprehensions - Characters of the Cross - Ideal for class or home schooling

Engaging stories from the Bible.
FREE, AS A GIFT FOR ALL IN 2020. :-)

This reading activity pack tells the story of the Jesus’ death and resurrection from Palm Sunday through to Easter Sunday. It is ideal all year round for reading or Religious Studies, but is particularly useful in the run up to Easter, as they follow the last week in Jesus’ life. They can also be used as Sunday School activities or as readings in church.

Based on the gospel accounts in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, I have written five reports from key people in the Easter story about what happened with comprehension based questions and answers for each. These will bring the well-known story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection to your students in a fresh, engaging and enlightening way.

The characters featured are:

Peter
Pontius Pilate
A Roman soldier
Mary Magdalen
Cleopas

The comprehension questions tackle the following skills:

Literal and retrieval
Word meaning
Inference and deduction

There is also an activity at the end to summarise each of the characters stories.

Answers are provided…just print and go!

As an added extra, there are a number of posters with key bible verses for your displays, including posters to colour in. These can be found at the end of the reading pack.
