WALT Know what different words mean Reading Goal - Term 2 What’s my goal? Know what different words mean What have I learned? That if you try hard enough to do research you can find heaps of words that mean the same thing How to think of different words to replace other words e.g. words to use instead of said The first is the word we were given and the second word was the word that I came up with that means the same thing.     1. Replied - responded       2. Fairy - Pixie     3. Announcement - speech     4. Vanished - disappeared     5. Spinning - turning     6. Clumsy - Helpless     7. Demanded - yelled     8. Disappear - vanished     9. Happily - merrily     10. Frightened - scared I found this easy because I know lots of different words and what they mean. What is my next learning step? I can use several pieces of information to make inferences (on information not directly in the text).

My reading goals

IALT: develop my reading comprehension skills Recently I took an asTTle reading test. I read a number of texts and answered a range of questions to check my understanding and comprehension.

She had brought the dragon far away from her village; away from the people who would hurt it and take it away from her. As she held it in her hands, Feeling its claws affectionately digging into her fingers through her gloves, Zoya knew exactly what she had to do. What they had to do. Together. The dragon gazed at her. She could see the flames burning within its eyes. It was totally dependent on her, as a newborn child is to its mother. And yet, strangely, she felt dependent upon the dragon as well; dependent upon what it was and what it would become in time. They would become inseparable. Their futures were entwined. Their adventures were only just beginning.... Zoya went to the shop and bought some dragon food. When he was eating she thought of a name, but she saw his green
