Tudors Year 4 VIPERS Reading First Blood: Spy Master, chapters 7-14

Reading unit on the book ‘First Blood: Spy Master’ by Jan Burchett and Sara Vogler

A great book for The Tudors topic in KS2.

I used the book last year during remote learning, recorded chapters and set writing tasks. The children loved the book and the mystery of it so I decided to revisit it this year and expand the learning.

• Chapters 7-14 reading comprehension sheets
• Written in the style of Literacy Shed’s VIPERS
• Demonstration comprehension and Independent comprehension slips also provided for lessons on Jane Considine’s Hooked on Books lessons
• Reading, English and Grammar lessons for the book are available on MyShop

I use the VIPERS questions when reading to the class. My TA has a copy of the sheets and notes down the children’s ideas and answers for verbal evidence of reading. I collect as many answers as possible each lesson.
