UKS2 Comprehension Worksheets - Chinese New Year

This non-fiction comprehension pack provides pupils in years 5 and 6 with information about Chinese New Year (also known as Lunar New Year and the Spring Festival) exploring why and how it is celebrated.

The pack includes a model text and comprehension questions to develop pupils’ skills of retrieval, inference, sequencing and vocabulary understanding and could be used as part of a whole class reading lesson or used with smaller guided groups. The non-fiction text could also be used as a model for pupils to base similar writing upon.

This primary resource pack includes:

• Model text: All About Chinese New Year
  
• Comprehension questions about the text
• Comprehension question answer sheet

Pupils should maintain positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what they read by continuing to read and discuss an increasingly wide range of ... non-fiction.
Pupils should understand what they read by:
- checking it makes sense to them, discussing their understanding and exploring the meaning of words in context.
- drawing inferences such as inferring characters feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions and justifying these with evidence.
- retrieve record and present information from non-fiction.
