Mystery of the Egyptian Scroll - 4-5 weeks KS2 (Y3 / Y4 / Y5) Whole Class Guided Reading - Ancient Egyptians.
VIPERS (Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explanation, Retrieval, Summary) questions and activities based on Zet’s first adventure by Scott Peters.

Siblings Zet and Kat live in Thebes. Suddenly, their lives are turned upside down one day, when a thief is chased through the market where they are manning their father’s stall. They are immediately drawn into a perilous mystery which forges deep friendships, and cruel enemies.
It’s a race against time to save all that they hold dear.

Packed with action and topic details, this immersive book has been a fantastic addition to our Y3 / Y4 Ancient Egyptians topic. This book has been an instant hit for even our most reluctant readers.

How this resource can work well:
Mon: Read ch.1-2
Tues: Vocab work for ch.1
Weds: Retrieval questions for ch.1
Thurs: Inference (explain) questions for ch.1
Fri: Summarise / Predict & ch.3

• Read 3 chapters each week
• The work in this pack is for the first chapter that is to be read e.g. for ch.1, ch.4, ch.7 etc.
• Provide copies of the text for the first chapter each week: ch.1, ch.4, ch.7 etc.
• The A.P.E. approach works well for the Inference questions (Answer it! Prove it! Explain it!)
