UKS2 Basketball Players Reading Comprehension Bundle

This is a bundle of three reading comprehension activities, or informational text activities, about three of the greatest basketball players of all time - LeBron James, Steph Curry & Michael Jordan. Perfect for Year 5 and Year 6.

The informational texts look into the players lives, careers and achievements, and conclude with comprehension and grammar questions. They also contain extension activities for fast-finishing students.

Each resource is ideal for a homework activity, a reading group activity, guided reading, exam/test preparation etc.

Each activity requires NO PREP; they have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity for those fast finishers.

Answers, for teacher use, are on the final pages of the documents.

5 minutes - read through the text individually.
