Oxford Literacy Guided Reading - Levels 12-17
Transitional Stage
Students reading Oxford Literacy texts from Levels 12-17 are described as reading at the "Transitional" stage of the Oxford Literacy reading program. Typically readers at this level are required to:
- Infer meaning from pictures, photographs and a range of visual communicators
- Read complex sentences and understand that a conjunction has been used to bind two phrases, with one being dependent on the other for meaning
- Use organisational features in non-fiction texts to add information and gain greater meaning
- Use punctuation to assist with fluency and phrasing, and comprehension of a range of texts
- Reflect on story or information to help with meaning
- Integrate all three cueing systems through questioning (e.g. "How did I work that word out?")
- Cross-check meaning and other cues to confirm vocabulary
- Demonstrate persistence and re-read if necessary
- Use glossary and non-fiction text features, such as indexes and headings, to retrieve information
