This bundle of guided / shared reading material, and the page numbers referenced therein, relates to “Cliffhanger” by Jacqueline Wilson; specifically, the Corgi Yearling edition published in 2009. I used this text and material with a mixed ability Year 3 class, a Year 4 class and with an EAL group. Each chapter has a diverse set of questions presented in a SATs style format with an indication in brackets of the VIPERS focus involved (ie. Vocabulary, Inference, Predict, Explain, Retrieve, Summarise). Chapters 1 - 5 have these sub-divided into two sets and, have two word detective exercises which allow pupils to explore some of the more unusual vocabulary they encounter. In addition, the questions are all combined in both ActivInspire and PowerPoint presentations.

Guided reading questions for Cosmic by Frank Cottrell-Boyce. Questions focus on vocabulary, retrieval, inference,author intent, author technique and giving explanations for answers using evidence from the text. Many questions written in KS2 sats reading style. Questions are labelled in red to show skill required e.g V = vocabulary, E = explain etc. Very useful for record keeping and analysing which skills children need more work on. As the chapters in the book are short (and we were aiming to build some reading stamina) questions are set across 2 or 3 chapters at a time. There are 6 or 7 questions in each section - 110 questions in total. Successfully used in Year 6 - children read chapters at home and completed questions in group work. Would be suitable for Year 5 and possibly Year 4 able readers too.

I have included the guided reading record sheet I use (not entirely mine as I found this somewhere and made some changes). The most important part of this document is the vocabulary I added. I went through each chapter and picked out vocabulary I thought was tricky. The vocabulary per chapter in the record sheet is not in abc order because it’s in the order that it comes up in the chapter. At the end of the document I arranged the vocabulary per chapter in abc order. I copy these (double-sided), laminate them and put a ring around them so students can each have a copy as sometimes they finish reading a chapter independently without me and need support. This vocabulary is CHALLENGING!! About this resource: I created this for a high ability guided reading group for Year 6. Please notice the pictures example I added at the end as well as a note.
