Varied Fluency
Developing Questions to support Using Devices to Build Cohesion. Texts use mainly simple or common vocabulary. Children are given extra information and only the necessary number of options to guide them towards the correct answers.
Expected Questions to support Using Devices to Build Cohesion. Texts use some subject/narrative specific vocabulary. Children are given no extra information and more than the necessary number of options.
Greater Depth Questions to support Using Devices to Build Cohesion. Texts use some subject/narrative specific vocabulary as well as a range of more complex sentence structures. Children are given no extra information and no options to choose from.
