Most of my resources are aimed at KS2 (U.K. Years 3 - 6, aged 7 years to 11 years) The Units tend to comprise of mainly fact-retrieval (from the text) questions (literal as well as inference) The exercises are constructed so they would keep a guided reading group occupied for two to three weeks (one short session per day) and as the ANSWERS are included, this means a real 'time saver' for hard working teachers of English everywhere !
