I have planned a series of reading lessons to go alongside J.K Rowling’s The Ickabog. This is primarily planned for Y6 but could be used in Y5. There are a variety of question types and reading activities and all come with answers. You have a brief overview of the week at the start and then, if you follow the slides with your class, there will be a series of discussion points to pause at or an activity at the end. New reading comprehension packs will be added each week.
It also develops individual metacognition/comprehension skills and can be used alongside my Agents of Understanding skills.
This week, the chapters planned for are:
Chapter 20 - Medals for Beamish and Buttons
Chapter 21 - Professor Fraudysham
Chapter 22 - The House with No Flags
Chapter 23 - The Trial
Chapter 24 - The Bandalore
Chapter 25 - Lord Spittleworth’s problem
Chapter 26 - A job for Mr Dovetail
Chapter 27 - Kidnapped
The activities planned this week are focused on answering questions and using inferences.
I bought this to have some ideas for questions for chapter 26 and 27 and it was just a copy of the chapter which was free online anyway. Id already covered the chapters up to 26 so it was all useless

Apologies that you didn't find that session useful. It does say in the description which chapters are covered and that there are discussion points for the end of the lesson or an activity .<br />
In session 1 there are two discussion points, where children need to refer to evidence from the text to back them up (as per National Curriculum requirements), a discussion point activity on using the text to decipher an unfamiliar word (as part of the NC requirements) an inference activity (when the King's 'new advisor comes in) and a hot seating opportunity at the end.<br />
In session 2, there are discussion points and a summarise the chapter activity.<br />
In session 3 there are 'comprehension' questions with answers at the end.<br />
In session 4 there are 'comprehension' questions with answers at the end.<br />
In session 5 (the one you are referring to) in the plan for that session, it has a discussion prompt you might like to explore with your class as well as a prediction activity. In my previous week's planning, children had made predictions about the story which they could then go back to and discuss whether they were correct, amend them or discard them (as per the NC).<br />
There is certainly plenty there for teachers and children to get stuck into across the week!
