Day 46 · Same topic, different reader

Useful job

Choose a text that fits a pretend visitor’s job.

Purpose

Identify audience and purpose in informative, imaginative and persuasive texts and explain how an image extends meaning.

Ready to enter

C11/C12 include full short texts and explicit image descriptions. Children can listen and view; print reading is observed separately.

Kit

C11/C12, two text cards, optional sketch space.

Compare two texts · 5–8 minutes

Read C11’s map note and imaginative snail scene. Both concern a toy garden, but one helps someone find a place and one tells an event. Ask for a word or layout clue that supports the difference.

Model a supported choice · 8–12 minutes

Choose the map note for a visitor looking for the pretend seed table and point to its route labels. Choose the story for a reader who wants a funny character event. Explain that a large labelled sign in the supplied image emphasises the seed table; do not claim it is larger than another sign when the source gives no comparison.

Try persuasion · 10–15 minutes

Read C12’s toy concert invitation and neutral schedule. Compare an inviting evaluative phrase with the schedule’s time order. Neither is a promise of a real public event. Ask what an image adds that the words do not already say.

Make a matched recommendation · 12–20 minutes

Children choose a reader/job card, name the best supplied text and explain one language or visual clue. They then add a small image or caption that extends a specific meaning. A text-only description can replace drawing.

Finish · 5 minutes

Ask the reader to locate the added meaning. Keep the source identity and the child’s reason; do not grade artistic polish or presume a picture is factual evidence about a real site.

Choose a way to take part

Match cards

Place three reader/job cards beside complete texts, then choose one match and explain a clue. The matching set is a discussion tool, not an automatic score.

Listen and describe

Hear the full texts and image descriptions. Use pointing or a dictated reason. Image meaning remains available without vision or drawing.

Read and caption

Read appropriate short parts, then write a recommendation and an extending caption. Observe decoding separately from text-purpose reasoning.

What to notice

Notice an audience-purpose match and a specific clue. An extending image adds or clarifies meaning; it is not simply a decorative picture.

Home offer

Use the two toy concert texts to choose one for a pretend performer and one for a pretend visitor. No online search or event booking is needed.

Longer make

Make a two-sided visitor card: route information on one side and a short imaginative scene on the other, labelled so the reader knows the different jobs.

Timing and scope

Times are unpiloted offers. Shorten or split while keeping the language job; no required prior fortnight mastery or guaranteed outcome.
