This week’s theme: SEAG COMPREHENSION. 📝
We will be focusing on:
☑ Retrieval
☑ Inference
☑ Vocabulary
☑ Imagery

Today we are looking at vocabulary questions. Specifically synonyms and antonyms.
📚 Synonym: a word that means the same or almost the same as another word.
Example: happy — joyful.
📚Antonym: a word that means the opposite of another word.
Example: hot — cold.

Finding synonyms & antonyms in SEAG passages — quick guide 🔎📚

☑ Read the sentence around the word — context gives meaning. 🧠➡️
☑ Check prefixes/suffixes (un-, re-, -less) to spot opposites or related words. 🔁❌
☑ Try swapping a possible synonym/antonym into the sentence — does it still make sense? 🔄✅❌
☑ Mind tone & intensity — synonyms can be milder/stronger (cold vs freezing). 🌡️
☑ If stuck, underline the sentence and scan the paragraph for a matching idea. ✏️🔍

This week’s theme: SEAG COMPREHENSION. 📝

We will be focusing on:
☑ Retrieval
☑ Inference
☑ Vocabulary
☑ Imagery

Today we are looking at inference questions. These can be tricky for 10/11 year olds, so it is important to teach the skill.
Inference = reading between the lines — work out what the author implies but doesn’t say outright.

📚 Quick guide to retrieval questions

📍Emotions: spot actions/words that show feelings (e.g., pen drops → anxious) 😟🖊️
📍Traits & motives: choices reveal personality (careful packing → cautious) 🧭🪖
📍Setting/situation: sensory clues show place/time (seagulls + breeze → beach/summer) 🌊☀️
📍Author’s intent/tone: word choice creates mood (“aggressively” → threatening) 🎭🌪️
📍Logic & missing details: fill gaps with what must be true 🧩✅

This week’s theme: SEAG COMPREHENSION. 📝

We will be focusing on:
☑ Retrieval
☑ Inference
☑ Vocabulary
☑ Imagery

Today we are looking at retrieval questions:
Retrieval = finding information directly from the text. 🔍

📚 Quick guide to retrieval questions

Direct retrieval (What/Where/When) — find the fact in the text 📍
Why (explicit reason) — look for “because/so/therefore” 🧐➡️
Find & copy — copy exact words (watch word limits!) ✂️📝
True / False — only what’s in the passage ✅❌❓
Multi-point retrieval — give 2+ separate facts from the text 2️⃣✳️
Tips: skim → scan → underline. Fast + precise = score! ⚡🎯
