Learning goals

  • We are learning to read texts fluently and use strategies to make meaning.
  • We are learning to read less predictable texts fluently and use strategies to make meaning.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts and begin to analyse texts by drawing on our knowledge.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts and to begin using our growing knowledge base to evaluate texts.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts and to begin using our growing knowledge base to evaluate texts.
  • We are learning to use comprehension strategies to find literal and inferred meaning in texts and to use and expand on our knowledge to analyse and evaluate texts.
  • We are learning to read texts and apply appropriate comprehension strategies to analyse information, e.g. predicting, confirming, monitoring meaning, skimming and scanning.
  • We are learning to select, navigate and read texts, using decoding strategies and identifying structural features to monitor meaning, e.g. table of contents, glossary, chapters, headings and subheadings.
