Year 3 or Year 4 Basketball Players Reading Comprehension Bundle

This is a bundle of three Year 3 or Year 4 reading comprehension activities, or informational text activities, about three of the greatest modern day basketball players - LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Steph Curry.

The informational texts look into the lives, careers and achievements of each individual, and conclude with comprehension and grammar questions. They also contain extension activities for fast-finishing students. They are aimed at students between the ages of 7-10.

Each resource is ideal for a homework activity, a reading group activity, guided reading, exam/test preparation etc.

Each activity requires NO PREP; they have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity for those fast finishers.

Answers, for teacher use, are on the final pages of the documents.
