Non - fiction reading

Non-Fiction Reading 

This term we are trying to get even better at understanding what we read.  

We are focusing on:

•  Activating our prior knowledge (Thinking about what we already know about a topic before and  while we read )
• Making Connections  (between what we know and what the text says)

We need to use this when reading fiction texts(stories)

but also non-fiction texts (information)

One of the ways you can practise non-fiction is to read  a news article each week for homework.

Here  is a link to the  KIWI KIDS NEWS website.

 You may need to read this with your mum or dad so they can help you understand new words.

Please can you make a comment about an article you have read to tell the class.
