Year 3/4 Stone Age Reading Comprehension Bundle

Build confident readers while bringing the Stone Age to life!

Develop comprehension skills and consolidate history learning with this fully resourced bundle of six reading comprehension lessons for Years 3/4. Give pupils a meaningful reason to read as they explore how Stone Age people lived, worked and left clues about their lives.

The differentiated texts help children revisit key historical knowledge while practising vocabulary, retrieval, summarising and inference — reading domains 2a–2d. Use them within your reading lessons or return to them during history teaching to reinforce understanding and encourage discussion.

Six engaging lessons:

• What Was the Stone Age?
• Hunter Gatherers
• Life in a Stone Age Settlement
• Stone Age Tools and Evidence
• Skara Brae
• Stonehenge

Every lesson includes:

• A fully editable teaching PowerPoint.
• Three differentiated, fully editable reading texts: SEND, Expected and Greater Depth.
• Three differentiated, fully editable question sheets with teacher answers.
• A speaking and listening activity, with an image and Teacher/TA questions.
• A complete lesson guide with assessment criteria.

The speaking and listening activities also make valuable history discussion starters, helping pupils build vocabulary, share ideas and explain their thinking. They offer an accessible way for children to explore the topic together before or alongside reading.

One bundle, flexible use: teach focused comprehension lessons, reinforce your Stone Age history topic and develop purposeful classroom talk — with editable resources you can adapt to suit your class.
