Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using the Language Experience Approach (LEA), create an informational text on Air as important. Learners observe the conversational poster on the "Weather" and "Rainforest" and with leading questions, have them create and dictate simple sentences orally and the teacher should act as a scribe to write the story for them on a big sheet and use that as a reading text throughout the week. Teacher can add few sentences. Give the text a title. Ask learners to add illustrations to the text.
