FAQs

What is an unseen passage? It is a short piece of writing the child has not read before. The child reads it and answers questions about it, which builds reading comprehension.

Are the answers included? Yes. Two answer-key pages give the answers for all 20 passages. Sentence answers are examples – any full sentence with the right idea is fine.

Is it for CBSE, ICSE or state board? Unseen passages are practised in Class 1 across boards. These passages are original and not linked to any one textbook, so they work alongside any school book.
