This is a set of five reading comprehension tasks with answers, which focus on retrieving information, vocabulary and making inferences. Each text has ten questions with it. Each comprehension is about a different Jewish celebration (Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Passover, Hanukkah, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah), so it could be used alongside learning in RE. These resources could be used for reading sessions, as part of RE lessons, for homework and/or as supply cover.
