Black History Month Complete Resource Bundle – Assembly Script & Differentiated Comprehension Tasks
This comprehensive Black History Month resource bundle combines an engaging rhyming assembly script with three differentiated comprehension packs, providing a versatile and impactful way to teach and celebrate Black history in primary schools.
The assembly script, designed for up to 30 pupils, introduces students to influential figures from the Black community—past and present—through engaging rhymes that capture attention and spark curiosity. It offers a fun, interactive way to launch Black History Month, promoting reflection, recognition, and celebration.
The comprehension packs include three differentiated versions to suit a wide range of learners:
Simplified version (Year 2–3): Accessible texts and questions for younger readers.
KS2 version (Years 4–6): Balanced retrieval, inference, vocabulary, and summarising questions.
Extended version (Year 6–7): Greater challenge, deeper inference, and critical thinking opportunities.
The resource covers 15 significant Black figures, from Rosa Parks to Barack Obama, helping children not only improve their reading comprehension skills but also deepen their understanding of historical and cultural contributions.
Answer keys are included in a separate document, supporting quick marking, peer assessment, or self-assessment. The multiple versions allow teachers to differentiate easily, ensuring all children can access the content at an appropriate level.
These versatile resources can be used in class, as homework, or to pre-load learning before Black History Month, and they support strong cross-curricular links between English and History. Engaging, informative, and flexible, this bundle is a powerful way to promote understanding, respect, and celebration of Black history in primary schools.
