Question banks on popular reading books

Hi!

My DD is 7 and in year 3. At school, they did use Accelerated Reader but stopped at Christmas.

DD loved the quizzes and has been missing doing these a lot and is asking me to make up questions for every book she reads. I just can’t keep up reading them to be able to make up questions (she’s reading books like Matilda and BFG in a couple of days, so isn’t going slowly!).

Is there anywhere that publishes question banks for popular books? I’m not expecting anything as comprehensive as Accelerated Reader, but even if I can find something for a couple of series, this would be helpful!

Chatgpt?

Chatgpt will do it, and reasonably accurately though obviously not perfectly.

You can often find teacher-made things on TES website, which you can sign up to for free

I’ll give ChatGPT a go - I’ve never used it so this could be interesting!

I’ll also have a take around TES, my DD is pretty much up for reading anything so can be a case of the availability of questions leading the book choice.

Primaryresources.co.uk is an old site but a good one for reading resources. It has a section of questions for different books, sorted by authors. There might be something there you could use

Theliteracyshed have VIPERS comprehension questions mapped out for books based on chapters etc. You can access some for free. It's a rubbish website to navigate but if u Google it it should come up, they have approx. 6 per year group/age band I think

You could also just make a generic one.
Eg
Who is the main character
Describe them using 3 adjectives from the text/your own
Summarise what happened in the page(s) u just read
Write down your favourite/new word from the bit u have read. Write a definition/look one up and show your parent.
How does the main character feel? How do u know? Point to the part of the text where it tells u this/u can infer it.
What do u think will happen next
Why
