Help pupils explore the fascinating science behind light, reflection, and shadows with Light & Shadows, a two-week Reading Comprehension Twin Pack designed to build scientific understanding alongside essential reading skills.

This engaging science-based bundle supports pupils in developing vocabulary, retrieval, and inference skills while learning how light behaves and how shadows are formed. The clear, consistent structure follows Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction, making it ideal for whole-class reading, guided comprehension, assessment, or intervention, and a perfect fit within a Light and Shadows science unit.

Twin Pack Includes:
What Are Shadows?

A clear, child-friendly explanation introducing how shadows are formed, why they change size and shape, and how light sources affect them. Pupils explore everyday examples while building scientific vocabulary and comprehension skills.

How Is Light Reflected?
An engaging explanation text exploring how light travels, reflects from surfaces, and allows us to see the world around us. Pupils learn about reflection through real-world contexts while practising key non-fiction reading strategies.

Together, these texts provide a strong foundation for understanding light and shadow concepts through purposeful, curriculum-linked reading.
