Each week, you will have four tasks to complete. You will have some reading tasks, a spelling task and then a chance to do some independent reading. Read through the tasks below to find out your instructions - I suggest doing a task a day.
Task 1
We are going to be focusing on vocabulary in texts throughout this half term. This week, we are going to be focusing on giving meaning to new language using the context of the text. I would like you to read through the PowerPoint and work through the tasks to learn and practice this skill.
Task 2
You have a sheet to complete based on the skill you learnt yesterday. Read through and complete the questions - use the PowerPoint from yesterday's session to support you.
Task 3
For your third task, you have got a 'skimming and scanning' activity to complete. Skimming and scanning is used to pick out and retrieve information effectively. from the text. This is a skill we focused on a lot last term so I would like to keep practicing this.
You have a text about healthy eating that you need to read through then some questions to complete using your skimming and scanning skills.
