About this worksheet
A support sheet for Year 5 pupils who are reading below the expected standard. The story, Caught by the Tide, follows Sam and his older cousin Maya as a current pulls their kayak away from a sea cave. Four multiple-choice questions check details such as the time Maya says the tide turns. Pupils then match current, drifted and reluctant to three meanings. Two inference questions and a final Yes or No judgement on Maya each come with a sentence starter. Model answers are on the last page. It follows England National Curriculum reading comprehension.
