Free Year 7 Reading Worksheets — Australia

3 free reading resources for Year 7, organised by topic with answer sheets, study guides and topic tests.

Reading comprehension is about more than finding the answer in the text. Students need to read literally (what does it say?), inferentially (what does it mean?) and evaluatively (what do I think, and why?). Each passage here comes with questions at all three levels and model answers for the open ones.

Common questions

Do writing tasks have answers?

Writing prompts include a model opening and clear success criteria rather than a single 'correct' answer, so parents and teachers can give useful feedback.

Are the reading passages original?

Yes. All passages are written by Success Tutoring and checked for age-appropriate vocabulary and sentence length.

Are these aligned to NAPLAN?

Resources tagged NAPLAN practise the same text types and skills NAPLAN assesses. They are NAPLAN-style and not official test papers.

How to use these resources

  1. Read the passage aloud together first for younger students.
  2. Ask your child to point to the sentence that proves their answer.
  3. Use the extended response to practise writing in full sentences.
