Adapted The Goldfish Story / UDL Comprehension Pack

Transform your inclusive classroom with the ultimate, ready-to-teach resource pack for The Goldfish!

Expertly designed for EAL learners, SEN students, and developing readers, this resource bridges the gap between complex text and accessible learning. By utilizing dual-coding theory (pairing critical text with powerful visual cues), this pack ensures that every student can access the narrative, build vocabulary, and master comprehension.

Whether you are an English teacher, a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO), or a Teaching Assistant running targeted interventions, this resource is a complete, plug-and-play toolkit designed to save you hours of prep time.

• The Adapted Text: Chunked, simplified, and formatted with dyslexia-friendly considerations, clear line spacing, and embedded visual icons (dual-coding) to support working memory and comprehension.
