Some helpful questions/statements to ask your child:
- What things will help you summarise this text – list, mind map, note taking, annotations?
- What are the main ideas and significant details from the reading/viewing/listening?
- If you were to tell another person about the text read/viewed/heard in a few sentences, what would you tell them?
- What is the main theme? How is it connected to the world beyond the text?
- In what significant ways does this text relate to/elaborate on the topic that you have been investigating?
- Can you create a metaphor for the text that you have read?
