…With a cry of rage, Prince Aral leapt up and thrust his sword deep into the dragon’s heart. Its dying shrieks echoed through the cavern and awoke the long-sleeping ruler.
Staggering to his feet, the king held his arms aloft realising that the curse had been broken. He took a faltering step but stumbled forward only to be caught immediately by the prince.

Conceptual understandingDo the children already have ways to express the concepts represented? Do they have associations with words they already know?
Instructional potentialCan the words be worked with in a variety of ways so that children can build rich representations of them and make connections to other words and concepts?
Importance and utilityWords that are characteristic of confident language users and appear across areas of learning.

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward
each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. travelling at 55
mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
A full moon, as heavy as an udder in need of milking, grazed the tops of the trees.

As the afternoon light started to fade, the cow stopped eating grass, stood instead with its head over the gate and gazed expectantly down the lane.

Book TalkBook TalkBooktalk : Chattergroups…• Talking one’s way into a deeper understanding is crucial for developing the
ability to think critically and appreciate literature. It’s in the discussion that the ability to think critically can be developed
• These skills must be modelled, ‘thinking aloud’, teasing at an issue
• Children can and should expect to change their minds in the light of what others say
• Encourage children to raise questions as well as make points and suggestions
• This is not simply about answering questions or guessing what the teacher has in their head!
• Booktalk must be developed as part of what the class do and in itself will contribute to the social health of the class

Thin Ice
She was the colour and size of a haystack with a brain the size of a needle. Why else would she have ventured out on to the ice when the river was thawing?
Now she just stood, looking up at the houses on the bridge, and barking in a slow, tuneless rhythm, like an old man coughing.

• How effectively is guided reading used to focus on next steps for groups of pupils?
