Free to use at home or in class, as often as you like. No account, no signup. The passages are original work written for this tool.

What is in each worksheet

Each worksheet has three parts. First the passage, written for the year group: Year 2 is about 140 words with short sentences, Year 3 about 170 words, Year 4 about 230 words, and Year 6 about 340 words with longer sentences and harder words. Then the questions, six for Years 2 to 4 and seven for Year 6, each with two ruled lines to write on. Then the answer key, hidden until you press show answer key, so the worksheet can be printed without the answers. The print button prints only the worksheet and the key, not the rest of the page.

The questions mix finding facts in the text with thinking about what happened and why. For example, the Year 4 worksheet asks where Freya says the boat can be reached, and the Year 6 worksheet asks what the crosses on the map really marked. Every answer is backed by words in the passage, so a teacher or parent can check it without guessing.
