Good Readers use a range of strategies. In Literacy we have been looking at Activating Prior Knowledge, Making Connections, Inferring and Questioning. Look at the following passage and write some questions. (They could be I wonder... questions or Thick and Thin questions. Remember Thick Questions are Open-ended and require complex answers and Thin questions are closed and are answered straight from the text.)

//I tried to outrun the planes. My throat was raw. Every breath burnt like a blowtorch. When I got to the Queen's Elbows only the front wall was standing. Behind it was a pile of rubble big enough to fill thousands of skips. I bit my teeth together, hard, so there was no space for that flapping bird to get in. Billy's room was in the basement. I got down on my knees and shovelled away the rubbish with my hands until I found the grate where they used to roll beer barrels down to the cellar. I pulled a pitchfork off the fence and belted the rusty catch until it fell apart.//

//Clinging to the edges, I lowered myself into the cellar until my freezing fingers gave way and I dropped down into the darkness. It felt like my leg bones had rammed through my shoulders. I lay on my back, hugging my legs, trying to stop the pain. Through the hole in the footpath, I counted the planes - seven dark arrows against the gingerbread sky - and I wondered how much longer it would be until morning. But I couldn't wait until then; I had to find Billy.//
