2.5 Constructs and retells meanings from short written texts with familiar topics and vocabulary, predictable text structures and frequent illustrations, and visual texts with predictable narrative structures, e.g. retell and comment on a visual text with attention to elements such as setting, character, conflict and resolution, make inferences about character based on facial expression, body language.

2.6 Understands that texts are constructed by people and represent real and imaginary experience, e.g. refer to author and illustrator, discuss different ways groups of people are represented in texts and that this could have been produced differently.

2.7 Recognises and interprets basic linguistic structures and features of texts, e.g. identify elements of setting in visual texts (objects, sound effects, music) and recognise features (dress, actions, gesture, dialogue) to identify heroes and villains.

2.8 Uses basic strategies for interpreting written and visual texts and maintains continuity in understanding when meaning is disrupted, e.g. use knowledge of media narrative structure to predict endings and resolution of conflict.
