Welcome to our comprehension questions and written answer practice for the ninth chapter of Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell! In this pack, you will find a large variety of questions to ask when reading through the text, which cover each curriculum objective. These are arranged by skill, and every question comes with an answer, all of which makes things easier for you! It's up to you whether you cover every question and skill, or select some specific areas to focus on.

This Rooftoppers Chapter 9 Reading Skills pack also includes some written answer practice, to help your children become familiar and adept at writing answers to questions that mimic the style of those found on SATs papers. You could use this pack with a whole class or a smaller group.
