In this The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark Chapter 4 Reading Skills pack, you will find an inherently-flexible and comprehensive selection of questions to make discussing the next chapter of Jill Tomlinson's much-loved book a breeze! This resource works perfectly whether you read with your whole class or smaller groups.

The first section of this resource provides you with an abundant selection of questions (and answers) to use as you read through the text, arranged by reading content domain and covering all eight of them. This means you can easily choose to focus on one, two or all of them. The second section is a sheet of our written answer practice questions, which are designed to introduce children to the sorts of tasks found on SATs reading papers, and help your children to gain the skills and experience they need to answer these styles of question with confidence. Answers are provided for this section too!
