How should my child use this book?

Read Cipher as a novel. The on-page dictionary is there to help your child understand difficult vocabulary without repeatedly stopping to look words up elsewhere. It is not a list of words to learn.

Knowledge Nuggets are different. Children should understand the SPaG, literary devices and comprehension points they explain.

What children meet in the story

• Difficult 11+ vocabulary used in context
• Definitions on the page where they are needed
• SPaG and literary devices explained as they appear
• Inference and comprehension through the events and characters

The story
