This KS2 Rise and Read Bastille Day resource includes four reading activities focused on the French celebration of Bastille Day. It is suitable for use in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 and could be displayed on the whiteboard as early morning work, used in reading or History lessons or even as a stimulus in assemblies. However you choose to use it, children will not only sharpen their reading skills but also learn more about this day of celebration in France.

The pack includes two information texts, an image and a diary entry. These lead to questions which focus on a variety of reading skills: retrieval, purpose, vocabulary, inference and prediction. There is also an assessment style question with a focus on choosing true and false statements based on the text.

This resource does not require any printing as it has been specially designed to be displayed on the whiteboard.
