This is Badger Girl one of the many stories created for the series Look And Read - some of you reading may remember Wordy, Magic E and Bill the Brickie some of the many insert characters for the original TV show. However here on the podcast, I am simply reading from the children's read-along book, with each chapter only being about 4-6 pages long.
With each episode comes a number of comprehension questions, which will test your retrieval, sequencing, grammar, vocabulary and inference skills on the way !

What does 'trouble with a big T' suggest to the reader?
Can you explain what 'nocturnal' means?
What do you think Debbie is going to do next?
