KEY into Evaluation

KEY into Evaluation requires readers to reorganise information & make inferences. Readers must unravel all text information before giving an opinion, evaluating information in fiction and non-fiction texts.

It is a graded resource with an extensive range of original material designed to:

• Meet the needs of a wide range of students
• Demonstrate (model) how evaluation & reaction works
• Provide practise examples using fiction & non-fiction texts

KEY into Evaluation is suitable for use with 8 year olds to adults - wherever English is being read. It can also be used with competent younger students who decode well, or orally with older students whose decoding ages are low.

It is structured into three graded levels:

1. Level One, decoding levels: 8 – 10 years
2. Level Two, decoding levels: 10 – 12 years
3. Level Three, decoding levels: 12 – 14 years

At each level, evaluation & reaction is introduced using models, practise paragraphs and texts. Levels Two & Three have a range of defined genre: history, geography, science, technology, news, sports news etc.
