This comprehensive resource contains over 250 reading question stems, organised by year group (EYFS to Year 6) and mapped to the National Curriculum reading content domains. Each question is written in the form of a sentence stem, allowing teachers to easily adapt them to any text.
The stems are grouped under the key reading skills: Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explain, Retrieve, and Summarise/Sequence. Every year group includes six targeted questions per skill, designed to support progression and deepen comprehension across the primary phase.
Ideal for whole-class guided reading, small group sessions, reading interventions, SATs preparation, and for building pupil confidence with text-based discussion. Perfect for display, planning support, or use in pupil booklets.
This resource will help you:
- Deliver consistent questioning across reading lessons
- Differentiate with confidence
- Promote high-quality, skill-specific discussion
- Align questioning with national assessment frameworks
Clear, flexible, and ready to use with any reading material.
