‘Food Chain’ Comprehension

Overview:

In this comprehension set, students read a non-fiction text about food chains and then answer a range of questions—literal, inferential, and evaluative. Suitable for Year 6 students.

Learning Objectives:

• Develop skills in answering literal, inferential, and evaluative questions.
• Strengthen comprehension and critical thinking abilities.
• Enhance the ability to support answers with evidence from the text.

How the Activity Works:

A Year 6 reading comprehension worksheet set about energy moves along the food chain. Students read the food chain text and then respond to a series of questions that test their understanding on different levels: literal (focusing on the facts), inferential (requiring deeper interpretation), and evaluative (asking for personal opinions based on the text). An answer sheet is included to support student reflection and guide learning.
