Three resources (one for Yrs7, 8 and 9) to aid teachers in assessing specific reading strands within the LNF. The documents have coloured boxes (easily removed when purchased) which refer to the following methodology: Year 7: Red Box – Element (Locating, selecting and using information) > Aspect (Reading strategies) > assess the quality and reliability of information on web pages, considering its origins and verifying accuracy. Green Box – Element (Responding to what has been read) > Aspect (Comprehension) > read with concentration texts, on screen and on paper, that are new to them, and understand the information in them and select the main points from texts. Purple box – Element (Responding to what has been read) >Aspect (Response and analysis) > distinguish between facts, theories and opinions and evaluate the content, presentation and appeal of a text. Year 8: Red Box – Element (Locating, selecting and using information) > Aspect (Reading strategies) > be selective about which internet sources to download or quote depending on their reliability and relevance . Green Box – Element (Responding to what has been read) > Aspect (Comprehension) > read with concentration texts, on-screen and on paper, that are new to them, understand the information in them and locate and selectively use additional information and evidence from different sources. Purple box – Element (Responding to what has been read) >Aspect (Response and analysis) > identify different views of a topic and any areas of agreement and contradiction and evaluate texts in terms of quality and level of interest. Year 9: Red Box – Element (Locating, selecting and using information) > Aspect (Reading strategies) > make full but selective use of the internet to update, broaden and deepen understanding of information, ideas and issues. Green Box – Element (Responding to what has been read) > Aspect (Comprehension) > read with concentration texts, on-screen and on paper, that are new to them, and understand the information in them, and follow up and use additional material in texts to extend understanding.
