Reading

CURRICULUM FOCUS

We are learning to analyse how language, illustrations, and layout work together to set mood.

VOCABULARY

The language used can evoke emotion in the reader, the illustrations or images used can convey emotions or actions that complement the language, and the layout of the text can influence how we read and interpret the text.

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

Read a book together and discuss the mood it creates. How does the story make you feel?

Are there specific words, phrases, or descriptions that contribute to that feeling?
