Continue with Siege: Book 3

Siege is the third book in The Cadwaladr Chronicles, a four-book 11+ reading serial for Year 4 and Year 5. It continues directly from Cipher, so children should read Trap and Cipher first. The Chronicles conclude in Escape.

How should my child use this book?

Read Siege 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
