I am working on...

• Decoding unfamiliar words with speed and fluency
• Confidently adapting intonation, tone and volume to suit the purpose and engage the audience
• Recognising themes within the book being read
• E.g. loss or heroism
• Identifying figurative language and explaining how that contributes to the meaning of the text
• Continuing to summarise the main ideas in a text - Who? What? Where? When? Why?
• Discussing how characters change and develop through the text drawing from evidence based on indirect clues - How has this character changed? What factors have contributed to these changes? What clues are there in the text?
