If it's time to read chapter 47 of Holes, it must be time for our Holes Chapter 47 Reading Skills pack! With a wide array of questions to dip into as you read this next part of Louis Sachar's story (all of which come with answers), this resource has got you covered!

The first section of this resource contains questions to ask as you read with your class or reading group. These are arranged into groups based on the reading content domains they cover, which makes it easy for you to focus on one or two skills if you wish. All eight domains have questions however, so if you want to look at every skill, you're set! The second section of the pack is a sheet of written answer practice questions which help familiarise your children with SATs-style reading questions and improve their ability to construct longer answers.
