Scored Reading exercise

Learners must read or listen to the excerpt and answer the questions by selecting the correct answer.

This activity is suitable for learners who wish to consolidate their skills in reading for understanding, analysis and evaluation, as part of their work in National 5 or Higher English.

Learners working towards the Scots Language Award at level 6 may also find this activity useful in demonstrating their understanding of a detailed and complex text. The downloadable worksheet also has stimuli for Outcome 2 (Create and produce detailed and complex communication in Scots for a specific purpose and audience) of the Scots Language Award.
