SATs style comprehension - St George's Day - Year 2

(0)
This resource is a fiction comprehension activity for year 2. It is based on the KS1 SATs reading paper and includes 3 differentiated levels. There are a range of ‘what,’ ‘who’ and ‘how’ questions, some multiple choice tick questions and some that require more detailed answers. The activity is also laid out in a similar way to the SATs booklets, with four pages of pictures and short written extracts to read and 2-3 questions per page. This comprehension is the legend of St George. I hope you find it useful. PDF file format and editable Microsoft word format included in the price.
