    Carries’ War by Nina Bawden

    Comprehension Skill to Learn: ‘find and copy’.

    Top Tips:
     Check if you are being asked to ‘find and copy’ a word or a phrase or a
    sentence
     Ensure you do find the right part in the text. Do not just go for the first thing
    you find if you are unsure
     Ensure you copy accurately from the text.

    Example:
    Page 1
    ‘ Carrie had often dreamed about coming back. In her dreams she was twelve years
    old again; short, scratched legs in red socks and scuffed, brown sandals, walking
    along the narrow, dirt path at the side of the railway line to where it plunged down, off
    the high ridge, through the Druid’s Grove. The yew trees in the Grove were dark
    green and so old that they had grown twisted and lumpy, like arthritic fingers. And in
    Carrie’s dream, the fingers reached out for her, plucking at her hair and her skirt as
    she ran. She was always running by the end of this dream, running away from the
    house, uphill towards the railway line’.

    Question: Find and Copy the word that shows the sandals were ruined.

    Answer: ‘scuffed’.

    Question: Find and Copy the phrase that shows Carrie was scared in the dream.

    Answer: ‘she was always running’.

    Your turn:

    1. Page 2. Find and copy the metaphor that shows the railway line area has
    been left alone for many years,

    2. Page 3. Find and copy the phrase that shows the children are respectful of
    Uncle Nick.

    3. Page 3. Find and copy the word that shows how the railway has been
    changed. ‘ It is now _________________’

    4. Page 4. Find and copy the word that is used instead of ‘nudged’.
    Getting Ready for Year 6.

    5. Page 5. Find and copy the sentence that shows the oldest boy did not believe
    in Druids.

    6. Page 6. Find and copy the word from the top of the page, that means ‘alone’.

    7. Page 6. Find and copy the phrase that describes the yew trees.

    Challenge question: How are the yew trees contrasted to the ash and hazelnut
    trees? What impact do you think this has on the children?

    8. Page 7. Find and copy the word that is used to show the oldest boy did not
    like the voice Carrie was using.

    9. Page 7. Find and copy the sentence that shows Carrie is feeling tense.

    10. Page 8. Find and copy the word that is used that shows the house is
    inhabitable now.

    When in year six, you will practice lots of questions where you have to give your
    impression of a person or an object or a relationship.

    What is your impression of the oldest boy? Think of a word to describe what you
    think of him and then copy the part from the text that backs up your point.
