ACELY1650

The Literature, print and digital student books provide teaching opportunities to build students’ abilities to:

• read predictable texts, practising phrasing and fluency, and monitor meaning using concepts about print and emerging contextual, semantic,

grammatical and phonic knowledge

• use comprehension strategies to understand and discuss texts listened to, viewed or read independently

• predict meaning using elements of texts prior to reading

• read one or more sentences correctly and for meaning in environmental/print texts

• identify literal meanings presented in texts, eg character, setting and events

• make connections between a text and own life

• interpret meaning by responding to an inferential question

• retell a familiar story in sequence and identify the main idea

• create visuals that reflect character, setting and events

• use context to predict meaning in written texts to supplement decoding attempts

• make acceptable substitutions when reading simple texts

• begin to use self-correction strategies, eg rereading, pausing, using picture cues and semantic and syntactic skills, to make meaning from print

and non-print texts

• use with increasing awareness appropriate reading behaviours, eg pitch, intonation and fluency
