Description
Support Year 6 pupils this Easter with the Easter Word Detective comprehension activity, designed to develop reading comprehension, vocabulary, and inference skills in a seasonal, engaging context. Pupils read Easter-themed three-paragraph stories and answer comprehension questions that encourage attention to detail, inference, and understanding of complex sentences and descriptive language.
This resource promotes vocabulary expansion, narrative understanding, and independent learning, making it ideal for guided reading sessions, literacy lessons, small group work, extension tasks for higher attainers, or homework. The activity is differentiated across three levels of challenge, indicated by the number of Easter bunnies:
-
🐰 = Working towards expected level (clear, straightforward sentences, mostly explicit answers)
-
🐰 🐰 = Working at expected level (longer sentences, some inference, richer vocabulary)
-
🐰 🐰 🐰 = Working at greater depth (complex sentences, subtle inference, descriptive and evaluative language)
Perfect for teachers seeking a fun, educational, and seasonal literacy resource that encourages pupils to develop reading for meaning, inference, and discussion skills. Answers are included for straightforward marking and assessment.
