Speaking and Listening
All pupils are involved in group discussion and interaction. Lost is designed to provide opportunities for children to take a variety of roles within a group and to prepare for more formal presentation speaking. Children are required to listen, understand and respond appropriately to other pupils, to make contributions and take turns in discussion.
Lost can also be used as an assessment tool for speaking and listening.
Reading
During Lost children are required to read messages and use inference and deduction to understand the text. Pupils also use their skills to glean appropriate relevant information as well as specific information, distinguishing between fact and opinion.
