Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

indicator text - p.138: printed 'K2.2.2.1.2' on the same page and in the same strand-3 sub-strand as the row above; structural reading K2.3.2.1.2; transcribed as printed and left for a human
indicator text - printed "K2.2.2.1.2" on p.138. Renumbered to "K2.3.2.1.2": the printed code repeats a code already used for a different indicator, and disagrees with this page own sub-strand heading. The target slot is the one gap in that sub-strand run.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

*
Have learners predict what the story will be using the cover picture and title of the big book.
*
Read aloud the narrative story related to the theme and use the Story Map strategy (follow procedure as in Appendix 1).
*
Guide the learners as to how to answer the story map questions. E.g. What is the setting of the story? who are the characters? what is the problem in the story? what did the character(s) do to solve
the problem? How was the problem solved? Learners should identify their favourite characters and explain why they like that character.
*
Repeat the pronunciation of the new words encountered in the text after teacher. Find the meaning using context and pictures. Use vocabulary acquired to construct short meaningful sentences.
