The questions are simply designed to (quickly) test comprehension, but I’ve also included an open-ended discussion question after each ‘block’ of reading. Here’s a snip ⤵️ ![Blood Brothers Faster Read Questions](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Blood%20Brothers%20Faster%20Read%20Questions.png?width=800&height=561&name=Blood%20Brothers%20Faster%20Read%20Questions.png) I’ve based the page numbers on the [Methuen edition](https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/b5cf95f0/files/uploaded/willy-russell-blood-brothers.pdf) of the play.
