Reading between the Lines. Literacy Progress Unit (Adapted for Whole Class Use). Key Stage 3: National Strategy.
Department for Education and Skills, London (England).
Adapted for whole class use, this unit focuses on developing skills pupils need if they are to progress from Level 3 to Level 4 in English of England's National Standards. It is meant to supplement, but not to replace, the English curriculum for Year 7 pupils. The unit is intended for Level 3 pupils working towards Level 4. It sets out to develop pupils' ability to "read between the lines": to use inference and deduction in order to understand what is meant, as well as what is stated openly. The key skills which underpin such understanding are: ability to pick up clues from a text using inference and deduction; visualization; prediction; empathy; and recognition of narrative perspective. Each 20-minute session is fast-paced and interactive. The unit consists of 18 session plans, plus support material in the form of annotated teacher sheets and a pupil reading journal. In many cases exemplar responses are included, but this is to give a clear image of what is expected, rather than to define "the" correct answer. (RS)
