Reading Program Term 4 Group 1 ref: Effective Literacy Practice in Years 5 to 8

My running record results for Term 2, show that I am reading at a 14+ level. The results also show however, that I am at a level below my expected reading level when using inference. Inferring means: using content in a text, together with existing knowledge, to come to a personal conclusion about something that is not stated explicitly in the text. For example, a writer may provide clues but not all the information. I need to be able to read ‘between the lines' to form a hypotheses (suggestions), improve these, understand underlying themes (ideas), make a critical judgment (serious opinion) and draw a conclusion.
To be good at using ‘inference', I will need to be able to… Term 3 Week 1 Term 3 Week 5

My running record results for Term 2, show that I am reading at a 12.6-13.6 level. The results also show however that I need to cross-check, confirm and self-correct my predictions about vocabulary, content or meaning as I read to ensure that the predictions I made, make sense and fit with other information that I already understand in the text (story). Cross-checking involves searching for additional information relating to content, meaning or vocabulary to confirm my initial understanding of the text (story). Self-correcting involves cross-checking, correcting, confirming and often re-predicting as I read. This can be done be turning a partially correct response or idea into a completely correct idea.
To be good at ‘cross-checking, confirming and self-correcting' I need to be able to … Term 3 Week 1 Term 3 Week 5

My running record results for Term 2, show that I am reading at a 12.5-13.5 level. My reading results show however that I able to read given text with relative ease but comprehension was not strong especially deeper level (questioning). Reading Comprehension is ‘Understanding what I am reading about'. Whether I read silently, aloud or listening to someone read, I can explore their ideas or my own to make connections (links), build meaning and give responses and new ideas. When I can explain, look at and build on these ideas through discussion with other readers, I develop ‘critical thinking' skills.
