Use comprehension strategies to understand and discuss texts listened to, viewed or read independently
• talking about the meanings in texts listened to, viewed and read
• visualising elements in a text (for example drawing an event or character from a text read aloud)
• providing a simple, correctly-sequenced retelling of narrative texts
• relating one or two key facts from informative texts
• finding a key word in a text to answer a literal question
• making links between events in a text and students’ own experiences
• making an inference about a character’s feelings
• discussing and sequencing events in stories
• Students are learning to make predictions and connections between the illustrations and text to deepen their understanding of the story.
