Please note that we do not have reading skills resources for every chapter of this book. Every effort has been made to ensure a wide range of questions have been included in the chapters we have resourced, covering each content domain.

We've got you covered for chapters eleven and twelve of Katherine Rundell's Rooftoppers. These are two shorter chapters, but don't be fooled into thinking that means we've skimped on content! In this pack, you will find a comprehensive selection of questions to ask as you read the text with your class, arranged by reading objective (and covering them all). This means you're free to check your class's understanding of every skill, or focus on just one or two. The choice is yours.

This Rooftoppers Chapters 11 and 12 Reading Skills pack also includes a page of our written answer practice questions. These are designed help familiarise your children with the sorts of tasks they could face in a SATs reading paper, though are also just good, useful questions in their own right. Answers for both the questions by skill and written answer practice are included in the pack, to make your life easier!

  • English Year 5 & Year 6: Maintain positive attitudes to reading and understanding of what is read.
  • English Year 5 & Year 6: Understand what they read by exploring the meaning of words in context; drawing inferences and justifying inferences with evidence; predicting what might happen from details stated and implied; summarising the main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph and identifying key details that support the main ideas; and identifying how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning.
  • English Year 5 & Year 6: Evaluate how authors use language, including figurative language, considering the impact on the reader.
