Develop reading skills with this humorous Year 5 The Zoo Just Outside Liverpool Whole Class Guided Reading Pack! Written in the style of a play script, pupils will follow the first two scenes in which a child naively tries to take a goat from the zoo. Children will practise retrieving information, infer characters' actions and feelings and make predictions as to what could have happened. This pack contains both a pupil version and a teacher version with answers.
