To make your next guided reading session simple and easy without compromising on depth of content, grab this The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark Chapter 6 Reading Skills pack and settle in to enjoy the next part of Jill Tomlinson's lovely story. This resource provides you with an extensive selection of questions (covering all eight reading content domains) to use when reading with your class or small group. As this is a longer chapter with lots of content, these questions have been arranged in two different ways. The first is by domain, which gives you the option to cover the whole chapter in one go, and focus on particular skills if you wish. The second is in two halves, enabling you to take two sessions to go through the chapter. Every question comes with an example answer.

We've also included a set of our written answer practice questions in this pack. Designed to familiarise children with SATs-style reading tasks, this part of the resource is great for giving your students the skills and confidence to write clear, well-structured responses to comprehension questions. An answer sheet is provided for this section too. Fantastic!
