Literacy - 50 QUICK activities - reading - language, inferencing, purpose & idea
Here are 50 QUICK literacy activities for reading, designed to get your students Literacy Fit - especially your Year 10s! Think NZQA Literacy co-requisites! Present as a slide show presentation or print for students to complete in their books. Slideshow includes answers.
Students complete three short activities:
1. Superpowers - (those of the writer) - identify language and structural features and describe effects
2. Inference - read 'between' and 'beyond' the lines.
3. Purpose and Idea students look 'behind' the lines.
Also in this series:
- Lit Fit F.A.B - 50 starter activities relating to writing skills
- Lit Fit Bits - 15 quick reading comprehension activities.
This resource includes:
⭐ Presentation slideshows for your big screen. Answers are included. (View only.)
⭐ Printable pages - 2 sets per page to save on photocopying, but you can print 2 pages per sheet and it's still readable! Perfect if you don't have a good big screen! Answers are included, so print a couple of those too for students to mark their own work. (View only.)
Tip: You could have a session printing and laminating to make a giant collection of reusable reading cards for yourself or your department.
