Reading Prompt Cards
Comprehension support you can shuffle, pick, and play with.
Our Reading Prompt Cards turn thoughtful reading questions into a flexible, easy-to-use card set. Each card features one prompt, making it simple to choose a question at random, focus on a specific skill, or let your child pick one themselves.
They’re perfect for:
- Making comprehension feel interactive and low-pressure
- Encouraging deeper thinking about characters and plot
- Supporting book discussions at home or in small groups
- Adding variety to daily reading routines
Lay them face down and draw one after reading, use them as conversation starters, or revisit the same question across different books. Small, regular discussions help children become more confident, thoughtful readers.
Available in both colour and black and white versions.

Summer story starter
Use the summer colouring sheet as a story prompt — what's happening in the scene? Tell or write a short story about it. Imagination and colour in one go.
Stop-the-story choices
Pause mid-story and ask: what do you think will happen next? Read on and find out whose guess was closest. Keeps minds engaged right through to the last page.
Character hot seat
One person sits in the hot seat as a character from the story. Everyone else fires questions. Great for getting inside a character's head.
