I am working on…

• Using my phonic knowledge to decode words accurately and without hesitation
• Applying my growing knowledge of root words, prefixes and suffixes to read aloud
• Prefixes include in-, im-, il-, ir-, dis-, mis-, un-, re-, sub-, inter-, super-, anti- and auto-
• Suffixes/word endings, include -ation, -ly, -ous, -ture, -sure, -sion, -tion, -ssion and –cian
• Using appropriate intonation and volume to read aloud
• Predicting what might happen on the basis of what has been read so far - Tell me what you think might happen next? Why do you think this?
• Inferring ideas (hidden meanings) based on what is said and done in a text
• Paying attention to punctuation when reading
