In this activity, children read a short, original story featuring Pip the bookworm caterpillar. After reading the text, pupils must answer five to seven questions that test their ability to recall facts, understand character motivations, and infer meaning from the story. Once the questions are completed, they can colour in a beautifully illustrated scene of Pip in the library. This English reading comprehension colouring page year 2 core worksheet is perfect for early finishers, morning work, or as a calming independent task during literacy rotations.
Aligned with the UK National Curriculum, this resource supports children in developing their ability to check that the text makes sense to them and to answer questions about what they have read. By using a mix of retrieval and inference-based questions, the activity encourages pupils to engage deeply with the narrative while keeping the experience lighthearted and fun.
