CURRICULUM FOCUS

This week in Reading, the Grade 2s are inferring the feelings of characters through their dialogue.

VOCABULARY

Characters are the people, animals, or creatures in a story.

Inferring is when you figure out something that isn’t directly said by using clues from the text.

Dialogue is the conversation between characters in a story.

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

Read a text with your child from their blue satchel or from your home library. Stop throughout the book and ask your child the following: 

• Can you infer how the character is feeling?
• What clues help you to infer how the character is feeling?
