I regularly read longer texts for longer timeframes and remember what I have read over days and across different texts on the same topic.
I can monitor my reading for accuracy and sense, demonstrating that I have the confidence to adjust my reading (e.g., by varying the speed of reading, by rereading, and by attending to the most important information) when I encounter difficulties.
I am learning to listen to, and interact with others when discussing issues that arise in different texts.
I am learning to compare and contrast information such as the features of different stories or factual texts.
I can infer meaning by looking at the clues that the author gives us in the text.
I am learning to think critically and discuss the development of the characters and plot.
I can identify the theme of a story.
I can identify and talk about writers’ purposes and on the ways they use language and ideas to suit their purposes (e.g., by using vocabulary to set a scene or develop a mood).
