Daffodil Day Reading Comprehension
Read the passage, then answer the questions. For the matching question, write the correct letter beside each word.
Daffodil Day in Aotearoa New Zealand
Each spring, people around Aotearoa New Zealand take part in Daffodil Day. The Cancer Society organises the appeal to raise money for people affected by cancer. Volunteers offer daffodil flowers and yellow badges in busy places, and people can give a donation to support the cause.
The daffodil is a fitting sign of hope. It appears in spring after the colder months, with a bright flower that stands out. Its return can remind people that difficult times may change. Families and friends supporting someone with cancer may also find hope in the care they receive from others.
Donations help fund cancer research and services for patients and their whānau. Schools, businesses and local groups may help share information or collect donations. A small contribution can join with many others to make a difference. Wearing a yellow badge is one way to show support and start a conversation about the appeal.
