About this worksheet
A Year 1 history reading comprehension about toys past and present, over six pages including the answer key. Leo brings his battery-powered plastic robot to Grandad Arthur, who shows him the tin wind-up train his own grandfather gave him on his sixth birthday. Eight questions follow in three sections: retrieval, inference and vocabulary, then a short opinion. The last question asks pupils to choose the robot or the train and give reasons from the story. The answer key gives model answers for all eight questions. It links to the England National Curriculum study of changes within living memory.
