Beauty and the Beast Reading Comprehension | Two Reading Levels & Worksheets

Suggested ages: 4–8. Choose the reading and question level to suit the child; beginning readers may need adult support.

Explore Beauty and the Beast with this illustrated reading comprehension pack, featuring two versions of the story and activities matched to each reading level.

Both texts tell the same traditional fairy tale, making it easy to explore the story together while supporting different reading abilities.

Level 1 includes:

• A simpler illustrated story with short sentences and familiar wording

• Multiple-choice reading questions

• Vocabulary matching

• Story sequencing

• Activities about feelings and oral retelling

Level 2 includes:

• A fuller illustrated story with richer vocabulary and dialogue

• Information retrieval questions

• Vocabulary activities

• Inference and explanation questions

• Activities exploring Beauty’s changing feelings and the characters’ choices

Also included: teacher notes, answers and example responses.

Use for fairy tale topics, guided reading, literacy centres, small-group work or home learning. Children can work from the included texts—no separate storybook is needed.

What you receive: a 13-page A4 portrait PDF. Student pages are black and white for easy printing.

This is a digital download; no physical product will be sent. For one teacher’s classroom or personal home use.
