Silver Level and Beyond | |
When students at this level read, respond to, and think critically about texts, they: | • I know what I like to read • I know what I am able to read • I know how to find what I like to read • I can select from a range of strategies to help me when I lose meaning in a text; - I can cross-check - I can re-read - I can use what I know about words and sentence structure - I can look for clues to confirm my predictions and inferences • I can use a range of comprehension strategies; – I can identify and summarise the main ideas using my knowledge of how a text is structured – I can make and explain my inferences using information in the text – I can make connections between the text and my prior knowledge to help me understand figurative language • I can read for sustained periods of time • I can read longer texts and remember what has happened over a number of days • I can talk about what I have read with others • I can discuss how well the text met its purpose |
They draw on knowledge and skills that include: | • I can read all high frequency words • I can automatically select an appropriate decoding strategy when I find unknown words • I can work out the meanings of new words using a range of strategies; – using my understanding of the meanings of most common prefixes; (over-, mis-, sub-, pre-, inter-, semi-, mid) – using my understanding of the most common suffixes (-ist, -ity,- ty, -ion, -able/-ible, -ness, -ment) – I can use reference sources to find the meanings of new words (dictionary, thesaurus) – I can guess word meanings from known roots and affixes • I can work out the meanings of unfamiliar phrases and expressions e.g., figures of speech) by using my oral language and the context; • I can recognise the features and purposes of some common text types • I can use my knowledge of common text types to understand texts • I can use visual language features to help me understand the ideas and information in texts |
