Literacy
In the 5/6 community we use the reciprocal reading roles to help deepen our understanding of a text to better comprehend what we have read.
When reading a text good readers:
use clues to make predictions
ask questions as they read
clarify tricky words
use their own words to summarise what they have read.
Please find below the discussion prompts we are using in the classroom to further support your child's reading comprehension at home.
In Writing we have been exploring using the OREO writing structure to help us plan and write a persuasive. You can find below an overview of OREO and some writing prompts you can use at home to create your own persuasive piece.
Using Descriptive Language
Choose an object around the house and have a close look and feel of it.
Using detailed adjectives, describe the object: What it looks like and how it feels. You are not allowed to name the object or any parts of it.
See if a family member can work out what the object is by reading your description.
