This provides a range of text features ‘and sentence structures suitable to support the development of more advanced reading skills at Turquoise band. Grammar and sentence structure ‘+ Longer, more formal sentences to convey ideas. ‘* Sentences are longer and contain more information, often with the use of commas in lists. Word meaning and spelling * Topic and specialist words are defined in the glossary. * Verbs are used appropriately in each genre (imperative verbs for instructional texts). Curriculum links Art ~ Explore the activities suggested. Collect more examples of art from around the world from books and websites. Find out more ‘about the legends depicted in art, such as the Dreamtime in Aboriginal drawings. ‘Maths — Explore symmetry through geometric patterning. Children could draw a small regular pattern of their own and then write instructions for a friend to follow to see if it can be reproduced accurately Learning outcomes Children can: * recognise key structural features of the genres represented ‘+ use non-fiction text features (contents, glossary, index, maps) effectively + read unfamiliar words that are not completely decodable, using a range of cue sources. A guided reading lesson Book Introduction Give each of the children a book. Ask them to read the title and blurb quietly to themselves. Read pages 2 and 3 independently. Orientation From their reading of the blurb and the first ‘two pages, ask the group to share what they think they will find it this text (listing non-fiction features). Say: Look through the book quickly and tell me what features you can find. This book does not use any captions or labels. Ask why they think this might be. Preparation Pages 4 and 5. Explore the two-page spread. Say: Page 4 gives us information about the type of drawing this is: what part of the world it comes from; where and when it is used. Page 5 is an instruction to draw that particular pattern. This is how the book is arranged. Take the children to the contents page and explore the different types of art explored in the book: Page 18 tells us about Chinese painting. Turn to that page. Discuss the meaning of ‘light brush strokes’. Page 19. Point out the use of imperative verbs - ‘these tell the reader what to do to draw in this way. Go to the glossary to find the meaning of the word ‘swirls’. Ask the children to make shapes in the air to indicate their understanding of this word. Page 22: Look at the map together. Locate the African and Chinese drawings discussed above. Tell the children they can choose a particular type of drawing to read and find out about. Discuss how they might use the contents page to choose. Give them a few moments to decide and then ask each child to tell their choice to the group.Strategy check Prompt for a strategy check: Remember; many of these words you will know already, but some will be new to you. You may not always be able to read them just using your phonic skills. What else might you use? Prompt for reading back in the text and using other information to help; looking for known chunks such as inflectional endings; and breaking words into syllable chunks. Say: When you have finished reading, you could make some notes about your chosen drawing. You can tell us all about what you found out when we come back together after reading.

Independent reading Move around the group ‘listening in’ and providing support for understanding or problem- solving where necessary. For example, That was a long sentence you read there (on page 3). Tell ‘me, why do we have to look carefully? You read that word correctly (‘border’ on page 10). What do you notice about it? Yes, its written in bold letters. What does that mean? Can you find out what the word ‘border’ means? Return to text Praise successful reading and problem-solving. ‘Ask each child to report on the drawing they chose to read about. Ensure they refer to their notes and the text, prompting if necessary: That's really interesting. Show us where you found that fact? Tell the children that they will have opportunity to make draw their chosen shape or pattern as a follow-up activity. Follow-up activities Children read other pages selectively, using the contents page or index to make their selection. Each child can follow the instructions to complete the art work for a class display. Children could write their own instructions to ‘complete a pattern, perhaps linked to the maths activity suggested above.The world is full of —— patterns and pictures. | >>} ’ So pick up a pencil . eet ki i NON ene ‘ and draw the world! revs S | 2a | My 4 POST a ee arm cis CAMBRIDGE Tia eee ry Institute of Education
