Get ready for another great guiding reading session of Piers Torday's The Last Wild with this The Last Wild Chapter 28 Reading Skills pack! It comes with all the flexibility and depth you've come to expect from our reading skills packs: a section of questions to use as you read with your class or a smaller group, and a selection of written answer practice questions to follow up with.

The questions to use as you read are arranged into reading content domains and cover all eight of them, so you can easily focus on as many or as few as you like. Our written answer practice is designed to help children become comfortable and confident in crafting longer written responses. The questions in this second section mimic the style of SATs reading papers, which helps to build familiarity with that format. All questions in both halves of the pack come with answers on a separate sheet. Perfect!

• 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.
