If you've reached chapter 38 of Piers Torday's The Last Wild and are wanting those sweet, sweet guided reading questions from Classroom Secrets, you're in the right place! As with every other chapter, we've provided both questions by skill and written answer practice in this The Last Wild Chapter 38 Reading Skills pack, and every question comes with an example answer!

Our questions by skill are just that: questions to use while reading with your class or smaller group, which are organised by reading content domain and cover all eight of them. Whether you use them to focus on one, two or all the skills is up to you! Our written answer practice is a chance for children to familiarise themselves with SATs-style reading questions and gain skills and confidence when structuring longer answers. Sounds good to me!
