How the Activity Works:

A Year 4 reading comprehension worksheet set about how to stay safe in the water (lakes, rivers, swimming pools and the ocean). Students read the passage 'Water Safety' and answer a series of comprehension questions designed to assess their understanding on three levels: literal, inferential, and evaluative. These questions help students engage with the text, think critically, and deepen their comprehension skills. This activity is ideal for reading rotations or literacy lessons aimed at developing comprehension skills.
