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.
