Identify the author’s purpose (to inform, persuade, entertain, or express) in a given text and explain how expression should reflect that purpose.
Use punctuation marks (full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, quotation marks) as cues for expressive reading.
Self-correct misread words and re-read sentences to confirm comprehension and improve fluency.
