This KS2 The Mystery of the Jaguar God Mask Guided Reading Pack is linked to the Maya Civilisation about a brother and a sister who find a stolen mask from a museum. Created to develop reading skills, we've included questions which require pupils to retrieve information, explore character relationships, find evidence to support ideas and discuss vocabulary choices. We've also included additional tasks focussed upon word meanings and extending sentences.
