Cliffhanger Guided / Shared Reading

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.
