Students read an original complete lighthouse story and a controlled early-reveal version, compare how the timing changes the reader's questions, practise with guided/core/transfer timelines and a Reveal Relay game, then use a fresh garden-map case. The independent weather-vane assessment asks them to explain two verbal and two visual moments with specific evidence and a later payoff or effect.

Learning focus

Explain how wording and illustration choices control information, obstacles, sequence and resolution to engage a reader. Distinguish a clue from a confirmed answer and justify how reveal timing changes the reading experience.

Classroom use

Five lessons with explicit modelling, guided discussion, differentiated practice, game-based rehearsal, independent assessment and a paired quiz.
