Read with an adult. Take your time. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.
1 Let's look together
The title is The Lost Scarf. Before the story starts, the title gives us an idea about its subject.
Adult reads: 'Nia hung her red scarf on a low branch while she played. A gust carried it across the park. Nia followed a red corner peeping from under a bench and found her scarf.' The title matters because losing and finding the scarf are the main events. We can connect the story to times we have looked for something, while remembering that our experience is not written evidence about Nia.
Look, point and talk with your adult.
2 Watch how I do it
I say what the title made me expect: someone might lose a scarf. After listening, I check: that did happen. I point to the event that proves it.

Let's check together
It suggested that a scarf would be lost. The gust carried Nia's scarf away, and she later found it under a bench.

Tell a partner about a time you looked for something, or invent a pretend example. Then name one way your example is like Nia's story and one way it is different.

Adult notes · prerequisites, safety and coverage
Adult reads and distinguishes text evidence from personal connection. A child may decline to share a real experience and use a pretend example. Discuss titles in many real books across the year.
Read instructions aloud. Word-reading practice must match the child's taught sounds. The phonics pages support, but do not replace, the school's systematic synthetic phonics programme. Shared stories are adult-read unless the child can decode them. Re-read and practise daily.
Enjoy, discuss and retell stories, poems and non-fiction read aloud.
Explain vocabulary, find information, infer and predict with evidence.
Listen, take turns, ask questions and explain ideas aloud.
