Reading

CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to analyse the language features of a narrative text.

VOCABULARY

Descriptive language - a technique used in speaking and writing that involves a detailed description of a place or person

Sensory language - words that link readers to the five senses: touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste

Justify - show or prove to be right or reasonable

ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Ask your child to read their independent reading books in their blue satchels and identify the different narrative structural elements within their text. Is there a title, sizzling start, backfill, problem (pebble, rock, boulder), resolution and a character wrap up? If you cannot identify some of the structural elements, identify what you could add based on what you have read.
