Year 2 Reading Revision Mat Guidance
To complete each reading revision mat, you will need to read a short passage of writing;
these will be taken from either a fictional story, a non-fiction text or a poem. Once you
have read and understood the passage, you will have to answer five different types of
question based on what you have read.
Each of the five different question types has its own helper to remind you of what to do:

Vocabulary Questions with Vocabulary Victor


Vocabulary Victor will help you to look at how authors
and poets have chosen to use certain words and phrases.

Retrieval Questions with Rex Retriever


Rex Retriever will help you to go into a text and
retrieve the facts.

Sequence Questions with Sequencing Suki


Sequencing Suki likes everything in order! She will
help you sequence the events in a text.

Inference Questions with Inference Iggy


Inference Iggy will help you hunt for clues in a text
about how someone might be feeling or why something is
happening.

Prediction Questions ○with Predicting Pip


Predicting Pip tries to see the future and she will help you
work out what might happen next.
Bunny Brown and His Sister Sue by Laura Lee Hope
“Bunny! Bunny! Wake up! It’s time!”

“Wha—what’s matter?” sleepily mumbled little Bunny Brown, making his words all run together,
like stringy, sticky toffee that has been out in the hot sun. “What’s the matter, Sue?” Bunny
asked, now that he had his eyes open. He looked over the side of his small bed to see his sister
standing beside it. She had left her own little room and had run into her brother’s.

“Why, it’s time to get up, Bunny,” and Sue opened her brown eyes more widely, as she tried to
get the ‘sleepy feeling’ out of them. “It’s time to get up!”

“Time to get up—so early? Oh, Sue! It isn’t Christmas morning, is it, Sue?” and
with that thought, Bunny sat up suddenly in his bed.

“Christmas? No, of course not!” said Sue, who, though only five years of age
(a year younger than Bunny), sometimes acted as though she was older than
him.

“Well, if it isn’t Christmas, and we don’t have to go to school, because it’s closed,
why do I have to get up so early?” Bunny wanted to know.

1. Tick the two things that Bunny knows are not the reason for getting up early.

a sunny day breakfast

going to school going on holiday

Christmas seeing Grandma

2. Why do you think the author described Bunny Brown’s words as ‘like
stringy, sticky toffee that has been left out in the hot sun’?

3. Who is the oldest: Bunny or Sue? Explain how you know.

4. What do you think is the real reason for Bunny and Sue getting up so
early?
Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue Answers
1. Tick the two things that Bunny knows are not the reason for getting up early.

a sunny day breakfast

going to school going on holiday

Christmas seeing Grandma

2. Why do you think the author described Bunny Brown’s words as ‘like stringy, sticky
toffee that has been left out in the hot sun’?
Accept any reasonable answers relating to the fact that Bunny’s words were ‘all
running together’.
E.g.

• He was speaking so quickly it all sounded like one long word.

• His words were not clear because he had just woken up.
3. Who is the oldest: Bunny or Sue? Explain how you know.
Bunny is the oldest.
Accept any reasonable answer relating to this line of the text, ‘Sue,
who, though only five years of age (a year younger than Bunny)’.

4. What do you think is the real reason for Bunny and Sue getting up so early?
DO NOT accept ‘to go to school’ or ‘to open their Christmas presents’.
Accept any reasonable answer relating to the children’s knowledge and
experiences of getting up early.
E.g.

• to go on a surprise trip or holiday

• to see a relative

• to go for an appointment

• for a special event, e.g. a sibling’s or parent’s birthday.

He hunts in the forest for berries to eat.
When snow starts to fall, he hurries inside
His warm little cave and there he will hide.
When spring comes again the snow melts away,
And out comes the bear, ready to play.
He stays out all summer in sunshine and heat,
He hunts in the forest for berries to eat.
