This week in Reading we have been practising the skill of inferring. To infer is to be a “reading detective” and use clues from a text along with what you already know, to figure out something that isn’t said directly. It’s like filling in the blanks by making a smart guess based on the evidence.
In today’s lesson, the children read a diary entry from a survivor of an avalanche. The put themselves in the shoes of the character and created a TV interview.
Help at home: Why not create another TV interview for a character in a book from home?
