Use comprehension strategies, such as visualising, predicting, connecting, summarising, monitoring and questioning when listening, reading and viewing to build literal and inferred meaning to expand topic knowledge and ideas, and evaluate texts

WA4ELYA3

For example:

  • making connections to non‑fiction texts or topic‑specific information to build meaning around an issue or topic in a narrative
  • sharing questions about texts with others as a means of evaluating their ideas or perspectives on a text
  • setting a purpose for reading, such as previewing an informative text and only using relevant sections of the text that suit the set purpose
  • reading graphics, such as tables or diagrams to clarify understanding
  • tracking understanding when reading or viewing a text independently, such as keeping a journal
  • summarising information with the aid of text features, such as topic sentences, headings and captions
