A comprehension activity with a mixture or question types for the first chapter of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Made with a year 4 mixed ability class in mind. Answers are in italics.

For LSA's to support guided reading. After reading a page/section the pupil rolls the dice. They can then either give a question to the group or the adult can create a question for them/the group. I have used this with level 2 and 3 readers in year 4.

A newspaper template based on the designs of real newspapers from this period, including Victorian adverts. I’ve chosen a date from when the Great Exhibition was running so that it can tie in with this, or stories such as The Peculiars, however, this can be edited as can the price and ‘special addition’ title. There is a space at the top for a headline and you can remove or rearrange the adverts as you wish.
