Learning Steps...I am learning to:
Make predictions using the pictures, own experience & phonological knowledge. Anticipate what may happen next and use this information to unfold the story. Stretch through words using chunks of sound, when necessary, making links to meaning. After attempting a word. Read on thinking about what word would make sense & match (cross-check). Re-read for more meaning: To try the sentence again, to monitor & self-correct (cross check). At a full stop . Stop & check: Did that sound right? Did that make sense? Did all the words look right? Think critically & comment about aspects of plot, characters, setting, problems & sequence of events. Give my opinions and predictions. Make inferences / conclusions & accept other people’s points of view. Create a personal response to the text & share with others. Retell the story in sequence and with detail. Ask and answer questions. Make comparisons between books. Identify differences between different types of text. Use references such as dictionaries and atlases. Make the story more interesting by noticing more print conventions & using voice inflections – full stop, comma, quotation marks, exclamation mark, ellipses. Understand more challenging vocabulary and sentence structures. Compare and describe different styles of illustrations. Make comparisons between books.
