What children will practise

Practise deeper reading strategies (ต 1.1 ป.6/4): the topic sentence usually opens a paragraph, the signals however, therefore, for example and in conclusion, and guessing a new word from context.

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions about reading - Where is a paragraph's topic sentence usually found (the first sentence) - What does however signal (a contrast) - What does therefore signal (a result) - What do for example and in conclusion signal - If you meet an unknown word, what should you do first (guess from the sentences around it)

How to use it in class

Use before P6 reading-test practice, 4 minutes in solo mode. - After the game, hand out a short paragraph; pupils underline the topic sentence and circle the signal words from the game - Try item 5 for real: choose a hard word in the paragraph and guess its meaning before checking a dictionary Play it linked to a class and the results go into the mark book.

Common sticking points

- therefore: choosing a contrast, confusing it with however just before; both are long, formal words - Item 1: choosing nowhere in particular because they have seen topic sentences at the end; accept that it happens, but it is usually first - in conclusion: choosing a reason if conclusion is an unknown word
