Learning Objectives

Indicator: B6.2.9.1.1 - Read grade-level text with meaning

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Use the before reading stage (previewing, predicting, and setting a purpose) to prepare themselves to read a grade-level text.
Read aloud a grade-level passage with accuracy and appropriate pace, pausing at full stops and commas.
Answer who, what, where, when, why and how questions about a text to demonstrate comprehension.
Retell the main events of a text in their own words, showing that they read with meaning rather than just calling words.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Use the three-stage approach (Before Reading, While Reading, and After Reading) for learners to prepare adequately and read texts and provide adequate follow-up activities.
- Use who, what, where, when, why and how of an event organiser to guide learners to adequately discuss the text and respond to questions on it. The document sets the first line above at the indicator's own left margin rather than indented with the exemplars, so it reads as part of the indicator on the page; it is an instruction to the teacher and is transcribed as the first exemplar. The document prints a further bullet under this indicator with no text beside it; it is dropped here.
