Silver Level and Beyond
When students at this level read, respond to, and think critically about texts, they:
 I know what I like to read
 I know what I am able to read
 I know how to find what I like to read
•  I can select from a range of strategies to help me when I lose meaning in a text;
- I can cross-check
- I can re-read
- I can use what I know about words and sentence structure
- I can look for clues to confirm my predictions and inferences
 I can use a range of comprehension strategies;
–  I can identify and summarise the main ideas using my knowledge of how a text is structured
–  I can make and explain my inferences using information in the text
–  I can make connections between the text and my prior knowledge to help me understand figurative language
•  I can read for sustained periods of time
•  I can read longer texts and remember what has happened over a number of days
•  I can talk about what I have read with others
•  I can discuss how well the text met its purpose
They draw on knowledge and skills that include:
• I can read all high frequency words
•  I can automatically select an appropriate decoding strategy when I find unknown words
•  I can work out the meanings of new words using a range of strategies;
– using my understanding of the meanings of most common prefixes; (over-, mis-, sub-, pre-, inter-, semi-, mid)
–  using my understanding of the most common suffixes (-ist, -ity,- ty, -ion, -able/-ible, -ness, -ment)
–  I can use reference sources to find the meanings of new words (dictionary, thesaurus)
–  I can guess word meanings from known roots and affixes
•  I can work out the meanings of unfamiliar phrases and expressions e.g., figures of speech) by using my oral language and the context;
•  I can recognise the features and purposes of some common text types
•  I can use my knowledge of common text types to understand texts
•  I can use visual language features to help me understand the ideas and information in texts
