Y3 Spring 2 Reading Challenge

Mr Carter

Challenge 1:

Read the extract from the story ‘How to be More Hedgehog’ and then answer the questions.

I drop the phone and fling myself onto the couch. The video is out there in the world, spreading from person to person like a virus, and there’s nothing I can do to get rid of it. In the morning, I tell Mum I’m not feeling well. She takes my temperature and when she sees it’s normal she insists I’m fine and bundles me off to school.

“You don’t need to worry Lily, I’ve told her to stop showing it to people now.”

My stomach drops. “W-W-What do you mean? Who-who-who has she shown it to?”

“Hardly anyone, I swear. Only a few of the boys, Tomas, Aidan and Dev, I think, and some of the Year 5s who were hanging around and Patrick, and I know she showed it to Leanne, because Leanne mentioned it last night when we were all texting. And maybe a few others- not that any. Anyway, she definitely won’t show it to anyone else.”

My stomach churns and burns. I think I’m going to throw up. As we reach the line, I pull my arm away from hers and run.

The screen blurs as tears flood my eyes. It’s been viewed 321 times. It’s got 146 likes and two dislikes and a stream of comments. At least 146 people have watched me stammering and thought it was hilarious. What if they shared it with 146 new people?

1. What is ‘out in the world’?
2. Why does Lily tell her mum she is not feeling well?
3. Why do you think Lily stammers when she say: (Use your inference)
“W-W-What do you mean? Who-who-who has she shown it to?”
4. How many times has the video been viewed?

Challenge 2

Read the next extract and use your inference skills for these next few questions.

The likes have gone up too. I run my eyes over the first few comments.

‘Too funny!’

“Can’t stop watching this…’

‘Scary!’

‘Who else died from laugher?’

‘Hammerhead shark? More like STAMMER HEAD!’

‘St-St-St-Stammer head u mean’

‘If she nods her head any harder it will fall off!’

There are more. One nasty comment after another. Someone called Brett 21 has written, ‘She has a serious disability!’ Someone else called Slime Forever says ‘what’s with the blinking????’ Someone called Jokerman has replied to Slime Forever. ‘R u so perfect? Nah, thought not!’.

I push the laptop away from me. I don’t bother logging out. There’s no point. It will still be there. It will always be there. My head feels like it’s full of bees, buzzing as loudly as they can. Everyone thinks I’m a freak. I can’t go back to school. I can’t face Mia.

1.How do the comments make Lily feel?
2. Why is Slime Forever sticking up for Lily?
3. What is making her not want to go back to school?
4. Does Lily deserve the horrid comments? Why?
