YR2 English Autumn Themed Comprehensions | Narrative, Non-Fiction & Poetry Pack

🍂 Develop your Year 2 children's reading skills with our wonderful YR2 English Autumn Themed Comprehensions! This engaging printable resource is perfect for KS1 children, providing a fantastic way to support reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and an understanding of different text types through a fun and seasonal topic.

Ideal for classroom use, guided reading sessions, or as homework, this pack is a brilliant tool for building core English skills.

This fantastic pack features:

  • Three engaging texts, each with a corresponding set of Year 2-appropriate comprehension questions.

  • Narrative Text: "The Missing Acorns" - A delightful story about an autumn adventure…“Chloe loved autumn walks with her dad. Today, they were on a special mission: to find the biggest, smoothest acorns to take back to show her mum. The autumn air had a special smell…”

  • Non-Fiction Text: "The Science of Autumn" - An informative text explaining the scientific reasons for seasonal changes…“Autumn is a season of incredible change, and it's all because of science! Because the Earth has a slight tilt, as it travels around the sun the days in autumn get shorter, which means…”

  • Poetry Text: "Autumn Change" - A lyrical poem about the changing colours and atmosphere of autumn…“The sun hangs low, a final gleam, Upon the silent, winding stream. The oak tree’s leaves, red…”

  • Multiple page formats for flexible teaching:

    • Page 1: A single sheet with both the text and questions, perfect for laminating or use in a child's book.

    • Page 2: A text-only sheet with a larger font size, ideal for whole-class or group reading where an adult reads aloud.

    • Page 3: A questions-only worksheet for children to write on independently.

(Note: Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity suggested on this page and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken.)

  • Our Year 2 English Autumn Themed Comprehensions pack is incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various KS1 environments:

    • Guided Reading Groups:

      • Use the large-font text sheets for a focused reading session with a small group. You can read the text together, and then children can use the questions to practise retrieving information and making simple inferences.

    • Independent Work:

      • The single-sheet text and questions are perfect for children to work on independently in a quiet reading area.

    • Differentiated Learning:

      • The three different formats allow for easy differentiation. Less confident readers can follow the large-font sheet as an adult reads. Children who need a scaffold can use the text and questions on a single page, while more confident readers can use the separate question sheet to write their answers.

    • Whole-Class Activity:

      • Use the non-fiction text to introduce your autumn science topic. Read the text together and have a class discussion about what children already know about the science behind the changing seasons.

  • Reading – Comprehension (Year 2)

    Pupils should be taught to:

    ❖ develop pleasure in reading, motivation to read, vocabulary and understanding by:

    • listening to, discussing and expressing views about a wide range of contemporary and classic poetry, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read independently

    • discussing the sequence of events in books and how items of information are related

    • becoming increasingly familiar with and retelling a wider range of stories, fairy stories and traditional tales

    • being introduced to non-fiction books that are structured in different ways

    • recognising simple recurring literary language in stories and poetry

    • discussing and clarifying the meanings of words, linking new meanings to known vocabulary

    • discussing their favourite words and phrases

    • continuing to build up a repertoire of poems learnt by heart, appreciating these and reciting some, with appropriate intonation to make the meaning clear

    ❖ understand both the books they can already read accurately and fluently and those they listen to by:

    • drawing on what they already know or on background information and vocabulary provided by the teacher

    • checking that the text makes sense to them as they read and correcting inaccurate reading

    • making inferences on the basis of what is being said and done

    • answering and asking questions

    • predicting what might happen on the basis of what has been read so far

    ❖ participate in discussion about books, poems and other works that are read to them and those that they can read for themselves, taking turns and listening to what others say

    ❖ explain and discuss their understanding of books, poems and other material, both those that they listen to and those that they read for themselves.
