Reading Comprehension goals

I can identify the main idea or theme of a text and distinguish between main and supporting information.
I can recognize the structure and purpose of different text types (e.g., article, review, report, letter) and how paragraphs are connected and how ideas are developed.
I can locate specific information in a text quickly and accurately (scanning).

Reading Comprehension goals

I can understand information that is implied but not directly stated (inferring).
I can guess the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context.
I can use knowledge of prefixes, suffixes, and word families to understand new vocabulary.
I can identify the writer’s purpose (to inform, persuade, entertain, etc.).

Reading Comprehension goals

I can recognize tone (e.g. formal, informal, sarcastic, objective).

I can recognize the writer’s opinion or bias and distinguish between fact and opinion.

I can form my own opinion about what I have read and support it with evidence from the text.

I can summarise a paragraph or section of a text in my own words and can refer to or quote texts properly.
