Monday - Context Clues.pdfReading
Reading
Independent / Shared Reading:
15 minutes reading your ‘Good Fit Book’.
Record this in your Reading Log.
Learning Intention: We are learning that when we come to a word we don’t understand, to stop and look around it for hints that will help us infer its meaning.
Success Criteria:
- I can stop and reread when I encounter new words.
- I can read a whole sentence and use the clues to infer what a word might mean.
Introduction:
Watch Mrs Holmes introduce our focus for this week; Using prior knowledge and context clues to help us read unknown words.
When you come to a word you don’t know, try the following:
1. Check for context clues that are right before and after the word.
2. If you find a context clue, use it to think about, predict, and infer what the word would be.
3. Reread the sentence with the new term or clue in mind.
4. Think to yourself, Does my inference make sense?
5. If it makes sense, continue reading.
6. If you don’t find a clue or understand the main point the author is making, try a different strategy to figure out the word, such as asking someone the meaning or using a dictionary.
Activity:
Read the sentence on each Task Card and pay attention to the word that is BOLD.
Your challenge is to try to work out the meaning of the BOLD word. Read the whole sentence to help you to use the context of the unknown word to help to infer its meaning.
Rule a table in your book with the following headings; Word, Sentence, What I Think it Means, Definition.
Write the BOLD word in the first column. Write the whole sentence on the card.
Write what you think the word means.
Then use a dictionary to look up the actual meaning.
Use the online dictionary link to find the exact definition.
Extra Challenge:
Read a chapter of your Good Fit book. Use the above table to record the unknown words that you encounter and try to infer their meaning. Look up the words and add their meaning to your chart. Try adding 6 words to your chart.

Learning Intention: We are learning to draft and proofread a writing piece.
Success Criteria:
I can proofread my writing to correct spelling mistakes and punctuation.
Tuning In: Watch the video of Mr Heard introduce the lesson for today.
Activity: This week you will have some choice about the type of writing you do. Your first task is to choose an activity from the Writing Choice Board.
Week 9 Writing Choice Board.pdfWhen you have made your selection revisit your Writer’s Notebook to see if you have any seeds that you could use to inspire your writing piece.
When you have made your choice spend some time drafting your writing piece.
You should aim to be writing for about 30 minutes. Don’t forget to apply strategies for building writing stamina as you write.
When you have finished writing, spend 10 minutes proofreading your writing to make sure that you have correctly spelt all words and used accurate punctuation and grammar.
Tomorrow we will explore and practise proofreading and editing strategies.

Learning Intention: We are learning to give change using counting up as a strategy.
Success Criteria: I can use subtraction or count up to give the correct change.
Tuning In: Watch Mrs. Marra’s videos of how to give the correct change.
Activity: Today, we are going to pretend we are working at a shop, without the luxury of a calculator or cash register!!! Instead, we will be using our brains to solve problems and give change to our customers using the ‘counting up strategy.’
The problems listed for you to solve are below or in the PDF file:
1) The total cost of my shopping came to $5.75. I paid with a $10 note. What is my change?
2) The total cost of my shopping came to $2.80. I paid with a $5 note. What is my change?
3) The total cost of my shopping came to $7.50. I paid with a $10 note. What is my change?
4) The total cost of my shopping came to $15.90. I paid with a $20 note. What is my change?
