                                                                   Best Mates

by Paora Tibble

I am learning about...

I.A.L.A Make and explain my inferences using information in the text




These are things I am already good at doing all the time in my reading

• Reading longer texts and remember what has happened over a number of days
• Talk about what they have read with others in the story
• Reread
• Automatically select and apply a decoding strategy when they find unknown word

My inference was that Mana is feeling really sad about his mate Jackson leaving and moving away to Auckland. The clues I used in the text were: "stink Jacksons leaving"
