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

Have your child read a fiction text and write down any questions they have as they read.

Have your child categorise if it is an inferential or literal question and have a go at answering the question using evidence from the text or making an inference.
