8 KS2 Shared reading texts + comprehension questions

I've uploaded 8 shared reading texts (from the same book - The alchemist) and comprehension questions to match.

We've been using these in a Year 3 class (1 text over 2 days. Day 1 acting it out and focusing on new vocab, day 2 on the questions) as we're having a big push on vocabulary given the area we work in.

However, I shared these with a Year 6 teacher and they've also used them 1 per session with their class and with greater independence.

These are seriously challenging texts and will get you thinking too!
- the more challenging vocab is highlighted in red.
- some of the texts have a warm up in purple above the text.
- I've also put how I want them to begin answering the questions in blue for support (seeing as I used it in Y3 )

This is taken from the first 2 chapters of the book and we are continuing to use this text next half term so will upload more then.

I've used PIRA stem question starts for the comprehension questions (given it's a tricky text, there may be one than 1 answer or will depend on how the children explain their answers)

Hope these help!
