Guided Reading
The Iron Man
Before we look at the text for the week, I would like you to look at the following word and phrases. Make sure you check the meaning of any unfamiliar terms, as this will help with your understanding of the text.
brink
nothingness
toppling
snag
sand-logged
Once you know the meaning of these terms, read this week's text: The Iron Man. This extract is taken from the beginning of Ted Hughes' incredible book. If you enjoy it, let me know and I will make sure that there is a copy in class when you return next week.
