Daffodil Day Reading Comprehension

Bright yellow daffodils

📖 Reading Passage

Daffodil Day

Every year in New Zealand, we celebrate Daffodil Day to raise money for the Cancer Society. The bright yellow daffodil is a special symbol of hope for people who have cancer and their families. During Daffodil Day, volunteers sell fresh daffodils and small yellow badges around the country.

Daffodils are perfect flowers to represent hope because they bloom in spring after the cold winter months. Just like the flowers push through the dark soil to reach the sunlight, people with cancer show courage and strength during difficult times.

The money raised on Daffodil Day helps support cancer research and provides care for patients. Schools, workplaces, and communities across New Zealand join together to support this important cause. When you see someone wearing a yellow daffodil badge, you know they are helping to spread hope and support others.
