Plazoom has teamed up with Beano to create comprehension activities based on one of its well-loved comic strips. The comprehension questions will develop pupils’ skills when answering questions that involve retrieval, inference, vocabulary and sequencing. A writing prompt is also included with each resource pack.

What is included in this Key Stage 2 resources pack?

In this resource, pupils will read a story about Minnie the Minx. Minnie and her friend Francis are relaxing in the park but an over-enthusiastic sign-making park keeper ruins their fun! Minnie eventually gets her own back, adding her own signs to the park and the park keeper is furious! But what will happen to him if he doesn’t read the signs?
