Narrative Text | Reading Response

PREMIUM RESOURCE | At Emergent Stage students are making a start at reading. They are learning that a book has a special way of telling a story. The resource is designed to support the reading process by helping students to develop strategies in which they can make meaning from text. The twelve Learning Intentions present individual strategies which interact and support each other; then, in combination and with explicit instruction, students will learn how to select and integrate the strategies in the reading process. The resource supports the Level 1 and Level 2 reading programme. It includes twelve Learning Intention charts, a complete list of Learning Intentions, a student Learning Intention-Self-Assessment sheet and a Reading Learning Intention-Self-Assessment template for individual learning.
