<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Test</strong> 1: <strong>Planet</strong> <strong>Narl</strong><br />
The next day, Sam tried to get into<br />
the jungle, but the plants stopped<br />
him. They were not at all like<br />
plants on Earth. These plants<br />
stung him, bit him, slapped<br />
him, whacked him and gave<br />
him spots. When he got back<br />
to his house, his mum took him<br />
to the doctor and the doctor said that he had to go to bed<br />
until the spots disappeared.<br />
The next day, Sam was sitting up in bed and his mum came in<br />
with a book. It was called Animals of the Jungles of <strong>Narl</strong>.<br />

<strong>Reading</strong> <strong>Test</strong> 1: <strong>Planet</strong> <strong>Narl</strong><br />
Sam’s book told him about a caterpillar that lived in the<br />
jungle. It was the most beautiful but deadly animal<br />
there and the book said to stay away from it.<br />
The caterpillar lived in the middle of the<br />
jungle near to where its special food<br />
grew. Sam wanted to see the<br />
caterpillar, but he knew that his mum wouldn’t want him to go.<br />
After he was better, Sam went to see his friend Zad. He<br />
showed Zad the book and told him about the caterpillar.<br />
Zad read the page and said, “Wow! So when are we going<br />
to go and find that caterpillar?”<br />

Why did the book say to stay away from the caterpillar?<br />
because it was beautiful<br />
because it was dangerous<br />
because it lived in the middle of the jungle<br />
because it ate people<br />
Why wouldn’t Sam’s mum want him to find the<br />
caterpillar?<br />
Did Zad want to go and see the caterpillar?<br />
