  9. Look for clues in the text.

  10. It helps us to work out the meaning of words or phrases which confuse us.

  11. Highlighted sections of text which contain clues.

  12. What does this really look like in the classroom? Modelled lesson

  13. Three levels of questions What? When? Who? Why? How? What might? What would?

  14. Literal and Inferential questions As the sun was rising Sue grabbed her coat and scarf and tip-toed out the door. The streets were very quiet for a change and as she crossed the tram tracks the heel of her shoe became stuck. She put down her briefcase and finally managed to struggle free and continue on. By the time Sue got to her destination the sweat was dripping from her face. What did Sue grab as she left? (Literal) How do you think Sue got to her destination? (Inferential)

  15. She moves backward a few feet and with a piece of white chalk draws a rectangle onto the wooden floor. Then continues backwards, drawing more rectangles, so there is a pyramid of them, single then double then single, her left hand braced flat on the floor, her head down, serious…… She drops the chalk into the pocket of her dress. She stands and pulls up the looseness of her skirt and ties it around her waist. She pulls from another pocket a piece of metal and flings it out in front of her so it falls just beyond the farthest square. She leaps forward, her legs smashing down, her shadow behind her curling into the depth of the hall. She is very quick, her tennis shoes skidding on the numbers she has drawn into each rectangle, one foot landing, then two feet, then one again until she reaches the last square. An excerpt from The English Patient

  16. Write down the things you definitely know from the excerpt. (Literal) • Write down the things you think you know from the excerpt. (Inferential)

  17. What does this mean for my teaching?? • WALT and TIB daily for reading • Mini-lesson daily for reading • Explicit modelling and teaching of comprehension strategies
