Wondering how to make Year 1 reading more exciting? Our KS1 Spyder by Matt Carr reading worksheets are a great way to enhance pupils reading and comprehension skills. The questions are organised into content domains to allow a focus on one or more specific skills.

This resource has been organised in two different ways to give teachers flexibility with the way the text is covered.

Use this interesting Spyder resource to teach the content domains for Year 1 and 2. Each differentiated dinosaur in the supermarket worksheet contains an answer sheet helping you and your students identify mistakes quickly.
