In this group we will explore a variety of text types (journals, plays, chapter books, graphic novels, non-fiction books) and use reading workshop time to improving specific skills e.g. inference, research skills, critical thinking, and responding to texts.

AO's:
- Integrate sources of information, processes, and strategies confidently to identify, form, and express ideas;
- Show an increasing understanding of how texts are shaped for different purposes and audiences;
- Show an increasing understanding of ideas within, across, and beyond texts;
- Show an increasing understanding of how language features are used for effect within and across texts;
- Show an increasing understanding of text structures.
