These New Years themed close reading tasks and fun activities are in a printable non-editable PDF file with 20 pages. An additional US spelling / grammar version is included in the Zip file with a small number of amendments to the UK version. Also available in this money-saving**January Reading Comprehensions BUNDLE**.   Most activities are provided at two levels of challenge, therefore they will suit a range of year groups and provide appropriate levels of challenge for different abilities within many classes.   I am designing these non-fiction comprehension and activities packets to provide a variety of interesting and relevant texts and related activities, a time-saving bank of flexible themed tasks linked to dates throughout the year. They feature specially written very short texts (about 250 - 300 words). Each pack is linked to a particular month but of course you can use them whenever you want! Each provides comprehension questions, a cloze procedure task and other linked tasks. The other tasks are on aspects of spelling, vocabulary, punctuation, grammar, writing or reading (this varies across the different packs). Build all activities into your Literacy or English programme, or use for cover lessons, homework, early finisher tasks or for those times when everything goes crazy and you just need something low-prep, meaningful, relevant and engaging at the last minute! I hope you enjoy using them.   CONTENTS: Reading passage (2 levels of difficulty) Cloze procedure task (2 levels of difficulty) – using same passage Comprehension questions (2 levels of difficulty) – using same passage Vocabulary grid puzzle (2 levels of difficulty) – using same passage Proofreading puzzle Full answer keys Teacher notes   YOU MIGHT LIKE… Complex Sentences Activity Cards Editing SPaG Puzzles Worksheets Full Stops and Capital Letters Cards Improving Sentences Writing Worksheets Winter Stories Creative Writing Story Prompts Creative Writing Story Prompts
