About this resource

Read The Ant and the Apple, a short alphabet story about Art sharing an apple with an ant. Five choice-based questions ask pupils to recall the story’s characters and events. Read together, find words beginning with A and return to the passage when choosing answers. A completed question page supports checking and discussion.

Curriculum reference — England: Reading meaning is assessed; alliteration alone is not evidence of a complete phonics lesson. The supplied literal-detail questions fit comprehension of short simple texts; no inference claim is made. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
