WALT: use inference to answer comprehension questions about a narrative text.
Silver Level and Beyond
| |
When students at this level read, respond to, and think critically about texts, they:
|
• I know what I like to read
• I know what I am able to read
• I know how to find what I like to read
• I can select from a range of strategies to help me when I lose meaning in a text;
- I can cross-check
- I can re-read
- I can use what I know about words and sentence structure
- I can look for clues to confirm my predictions and inferences
• I can use a range of comprehension strategies;
– I can identify and summarise the main ideas using my knowledge of how a text is structured
– I can make and explain my inferences using information in the text
– I can make connections between the text and my prior knowledge to help me understand figurative language
• I can read for sustained periods of time
• I can read longer texts and remember what has happened over a number of days
• I can talk about what I have read with others
• I can discuss how well the text met its purpose
|
They draw on knowledge and skills that include:
|
• I can read all high frequency words
• I can automatically select an appropriate decoding strategy when I find unknown words
• I can work out the meanings of new words using a range of strategies;
– using my understanding of the meanings of most common prefixes; (over-, mis-, sub-, pre-, inter-, semi-, mid)
– using my understanding of the most common suffixes (-ist, -ity,- ty, -ion, -able/-ible, -ness, -ment)
– I can use reference sources to find the meanings of new words (dictionary, thesaurus)
– I can guess word meanings from known roots and affixes
• I can work out the meanings of unfamiliar phrases and expressions e.g., figures of speech) by using my oral language and the context;
• I can recognise the features and purposes of some common text types
• I can use my knowledge of common text types to understand texts
• I can use visual language features to help me understand the ideas and information in texts
