Comprehension skills and strategies

Students comprehend and interpret information, ideas, and opinions presented in texts.

For example, they:

• develop skills and strategies to interpret literal and inferential information, ideas, and language used in texts
• recognise, describe, and reflect on the subject matter of texts
• explain ideas and perspectives presented in texts
• recognise and interpret cultural references and implied meanings, including how language reflects cultural constructions or ideas such as age, gender, race, or identity (e.g. stereotyping in films or magazines)
• describe the language features of a range of texts of increasing complexity
• select and evaluate information from sources.
