I'm a Primary Teacher who loves adventure stories with a historical or geographical link. I create reading comprehension questions, usually two sets for different ability, using SAT style as well to ensure a range of reading skills are addressed. Check out my blog where I review books that I've used or intend to use, from a classroom perspective.
