Based on Philip Pullman's Aladdin version, a series of 6 lessons looking at different extracts (in chronological order) and answering a series of comprehension questions focusing on clarification, inference, author's choice and providing evidence with answers. The lessons follow a structure (outlined in the document) that encourages more discussion around answers rather than just giving children a text and them answering questions independently. There is a document with suggested answers though you may be surprised some of the things the children come up with for 'what do you think' questions. Supporting notebook with coloured slides separating the different sessions. Hope this is of use to you!
