This Saint Valentine’s Day reading comprehension is divided into four sections from A to D with questions below each section. There are not more than 5 questions for each passage. See below for extra activities.
All four passages tell the story of Saint Valentine.
In the teacher’s notes, I have suggested questions to create interest before handing out the reading comprehension.
As a whole class activity, you can read the whole story and then ask questions about what you have read and asking some children/students to summarise, before small and/or independent group work.
The reading comprehension requires students to:
• Look for evidence in the passages
• Make inference
• Give their opinion
• Select correct answers from multiple choice questions
• Correct spelling errors in a paragraph (sight words, phonetically misspelt words and homophones).
The extra activities are:
Reading two paragraphs and correcting the spelling errors; and
Complete a short writing task – Write a sentence or two on what hope, kindness and love mean to them.
Optional: You can make the reading comprehension into a booklet.
NB: The reading comprehension pages include both UK and US spelling.
Thank you for your interest. Be sure to check out my other Saint Valentine resources.

<strong>This resource is about the lost son parable relating to forgiveness. It is for whole school assembly.</strong>
It contains:
PowerPoint Presentation
Teacher’s Guide on how to conduct the assembly
Playscript of the Parable
Posters for display
Cross-curricular to Religious Studies and Citizenship.
The theme is ‘forgiveness’ based on The Parable of the Lost Son.
Learning Objective: To understand what forgiveness means.
Children are asked why we should say ‘sorry’ and understand the meaning of forgiveness and understanding.
The children are asked about their own experience of getting hurt and wanting that person to say sorry and what it feels like if they don’t apologize.
They are taken through the story and asked questions along the way.
I’ve written a playscript based on the story. You may wish to have a group of children act out the story instead of reading it on the slides. There are questions on the slides for children to think about.

This resource comprises 5 worksheets on the water cycle and a missing jigsaw activity.
The worksheets are also on PowerPoint and PDF format.
These are additional worksheets you can give out during the lesson, use as assessment on the water cycle or as homework.
Two worksheets require students to write about the water cycle in their own words.
Three worksheets entail cut and paste activities. The simpler activities are cutting out the word strips and glue them onto the correct blank space to show the water cycle process.
The other cut and paste activity requires students to write the title in their workbooks or on a separate sheet of paper. Then they write about each word, cut out the strip and glue it into their workbooks. Some students may only be able to complete 4 strips. Let them choose a word to write about.
Once the students have written something about each word, they can draw a picture for each strip.
There is a jigsaw puzzle to complete. It has 4 pieces missing with which students complete the puzzle picture of the water cycle. When this is completed, student cut out and stick the labels into the correct spaces on the completed puzzle. A finished puzzle is included to how the puzzle should look. NB: The picture was drawn on the computer and coloured in by hand.
Missing Jigsaw Puzzle pieces (b/w) – Print off the page with just one puzzle piece in place. Students complete the whole puzzle by cutting out the rest of the puzzles (8 pieces) and sticking them in place to complete the water cycle picture. Then as above, cut out the words and glue beneath the correct picture, e.g. precipitation would go beneath the rain cloud.
Students can then colour in.
Hope you enjoy using these resources.
