The Human Body Reading Comprehension Pack
I have created these reading comprehension texts and questions to support Year 5 pupils while learning about the human body.
The pack includes a range of fiction and non-fiction texts designed to give children varied reading experiences while deepening their scientific understanding. Each text links to key knowledge from the science curriculum but can also be used as a stand-alone comprehension activity for English lessons.
What’s included:
A range of high-quality texts (both fiction and non-fiction)
Question sets focusing on key reading skills: retrieval, inference, vocabulary, explanation, and summarising
SEND-friendly sheets to support accessibility and differentiation
How to use:
These comprehension activities are ideal for whole-class reading, guided reading groups, or independent comprehension practice. They work perfectly alongside a Science unit on the human body or as cross-curricular English tasks.
