Wushka reading task: 30 – 40 mins:
- Sign into Wushka https://wushka.com.au/login
- Select one of the five Wushka Non Fiction book that your teacher has set for you in Reading Groups (Cats, Rabbits, Horses & Lizards). It is in your levelled library. Only read one book of these assigned books each day. Please note that the books are the same as last week. (As we are looking at a different comprehension strategy it is useful to read familiar books, so the children can concentrate on the new strategy, rather than unfamiliar words or ideas.)
- Read the text.
- Think about two ideas to compare that are on the same page, or over two pages so you can flick between the two.
- Talk to your parent about how two ideas in the text are similar. Record these on a venn diagram.
- Talk to your parent about how these two ideas are different. Record these on a venn diagram
