Please note that we do not have reading skills resources for every chapter of this book. Every effort has been made to ensure a wide range of questions have been included in the chapters we have resourced, covering each content domain.

To make your next guided reading session simple and easy without compromising on depth of content, grab this Skellig Chapter 13 Reading Skills pack and settle in to enjoy the next part of David Almond's story. This resource provides you with an array of questions (covering all eight reading content domains) to use when reading with your class or small group. Questions are arranged by domain, to make it simple for you to focus on one, or two, or all of them. 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. Ideal!
