Reading

What strategies can you remember that help us work out the meaning of unfamiliar words? We can:

• look carefully at the context by reading around the word – look at the sentences before and after for any clues.
• look at root words, prefixes and suffixes
• replace the word with a synonym (a word with a similar meaning).

Use these to help you answer the questions on the sheet. Everybody should try questions 1-5 and there are two extension questions for an extra challenge.

English

Listen to the second chapter again, thinking about what it might be like to be Harry.

MAIN TASK: Answer these questions in a short paragraph:

• Who is Harry?
• How do you think he feels?
• Why does he feel this way?
• What kind of person do you think Harry is?

EXTENSION: Now compare Harry to Dudley.

• What kind of person is Dudley?
• Who is more likeable?
• How are the two boys different?
• Why are they different?
