Questions for you and your grown up to think about when reading your books

As well as just reading books, it's really important that you are able to understand what has happened in the story/information book, answer questions about it and understand what the words mean and why the author has chosen to use them.

See below for some helpful questions to think about when you are reading and some questions that your grown ups can ask you too.
