Floodland Marcus Sedgewick EAL/SEN chapter summaries - very simple

I wrote these chapter summaries of Marcus Sedgewick’s novel Floodland to help SEN and EAL children access the story alongside the rest of the class. They were very valuable and have been used a few years in a row now with great success. The whole book is covered from start to finish.

A sample from ch1:

Zoe, the main character, ran faster than she ever had before. She could hear the gang chasing her. They were getting closer.

Zoe lived on an island called Norwich. It used to be part of England but now it was an island. The whole of England was flooded and things had changed.

For a long time now, Zoe had been hiding a boat and fixing it. She wanted to use it to escape the island of Norwich.

But somehow the gang had found it too and now they were chasing her.

Zoe scrambled to the boat and pushed it into the water.

The gang shouted, “take us with you. Please! We won’t hurt you!”

Each chapter is on less than a page of A4, some much less.
