BOOK THREE · READING COMPANION
Read like a Year 6 reader.
The story comes first. These prompts help you notice craft, evidence and ideas without turning reading into a worksheet.
Track what changes
Notice a character decision, a new piece of world knowledge and one question the chapter leaves open. Separate what the text states from what you infer.
Unlock powerful vocabulary
Choose an unfamiliar or important word. Use the sentence, word parts and nearby ideas to infer its meaning, then check whether your meaning fits.
Make a defensible claim
Write one claim about a character, conflict or theme. Support it with two specific details and explain how each detail strengthens your thinking.
Notice how the story works
Find a place where description, dialogue, pacing or point of view changes the feeling of the scene. Explain the effect rather than only naming the technique.
Carry the story forward
Record one connection to earlier events, your own knowledge or another text. Make clear whether the connection is directly supported or is your interpretation.
