Say hello to another great set of guided reading questions for Pier's Torday's The Last Wild! This The Last Wild Chapter 27 Reading Skills pack has all the content and flexibility you need to deliver the session you want. It comes in two sections, the first of which provides a wide selection of questions to use as you read the text with your class or small group. These questions cover all eight reading content domains and are arranged by domain to make it easy to focus on whichever skills you want.

The second section of the pack is a sheet of our written answer practice. The questions here help children to grow in skill and confidence when structuring written responses and are designed to mimic the style of a SATs reading paper. Answers to both sections of this resource are provided on separate answer sheets.
