Step-by-step solution for: Reading Passages Teaching Resources for Year 1 | Teach Starter
Let’s go through each question one by one, using the story to find the answers.
---
1. What does unique mean?
In the story, it says Millie had a “unique hair style” and that people stopped and looked at her because of it. It also says her hairstyle was “the most bizarre in the world.” So, “unique” means something that is very special or different from anything else — like no one else has it.
→ Answer: Unique means one of a kind — something special and different from everything else.
---
2. What do you think other people thought of Millie’s hair?
The story says: “Everywhere she went, people stopped and looked at her.” That means they were surprised or curious. Also, it says her hair was “bizarre,” which means strange or weird. So, people probably thought it was unusual — maybe even shocking! But since Millie was proud, some might have admired her courage too.
→ Answer: People probably thought her hair was strange or weird, but also interesting enough to stop and look.

3. How long had the spiders been living in her hair?
The story says: “The spiders had been living on top of her head for years. Their parents, grandparents and great grandparents had lived in her hair.”
That means not just one generation — multiple generations of spiders lived there. So, it’s been many years — longer than just a few months or a year.
→ Answer: The spiders had been living in her hair for many years — even their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents lived there too.

4. How did Millie feel about her own hair style?
The story clearly says: “Millie was proud of her hair style…” She even changed how she wore it every day — sometimes letting spiders dangle, sometimes putting them on her bun. That shows she liked it and enjoyed showing it off.
→ Answer: Millie felt proud and happy about her hair style. She loved it and enjoyed changing how she wore it.
---
5. What do you think about Millie’s hair style?
This is your opinion! You can say what you really think. Maybe you think it’s cool and brave… or maybe you think it’s too scary with all those spiders! There’s no right or wrong answer here — just be honest.
→ Example Answer (you can change this): I think it’s super cool that Millie isn’t afraid to be different. But I wouldn’t want spiders in my hair!

Final Answer:
1. Unique means one of a kind — something special and different from everything else.
2. People probably thought her hair was strange or weird, but also interesting enough to stop and look.
3. The spiders had been living in her hair for many years — even their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents lived there too.
