Reading/VIPERS
Our final week of 'Rapunzel'. As part of this, I would like you to look at the book (pictures below) and discuss the answers (writing them down) with your adult.
Monday:
Retrieval: Look carefully at these pages. What can you see?
Inference: What might Rapunzel be thinking and feeling when she sees the witch?
Explain: Why does Bethan Woollvin use an ellipsis on page 16? How should this be read? What might come next?
Tuesday:
Retrieval: Rapunzel says that the leaf must have blown in through the window. True or false?
Explain: Are there any words or phrases that have been repeated on these pages? Why might this be?
Vocabulary: Why is ‘TERRIBLE’ written in capital letters? How should this be read?
Explain: How do we know the witch is angry? Look at the words and pictures on these pages!

Wednesday:
Retrieval: How does Rapunzel defeat the witch?
