All about X-rays<br />
An informative pamphlet explaining how X-rays work and what they are used for.<br />
Before reading During reading After reading<br />
• Before you start reading,<br />
ask your learner what they<br />
think X-rays might be used<br />
for. Encourage them to<br />
share any experiences or<br />
prior knowledge they may<br />
have about X-rays.<br />
• Pause after the first<br />
paragraph and ask your<br />
learner to explain what<br />
X-rays are. Encourage them<br />
to use topic-related words<br />
like ‘rays’, ‘skin’, ‘muscles’,<br />
‘bones’, and ‘teeth’.<br />
• Encourage your learner<br />
to go beyond the text by<br />
asking them why they think<br />
we should stand still when<br />
taking an X-ray.<br />
• Select more complex<br />
vocabulary used in the text<br />
and discuss their meanings.<br />
For example, ‘health’,<br />
‘essential’, and ‘shield’.<br />
Explore space with the Stellar Explorer Rocket!<br />
A magazine advertisement for a fun, new toy for lovers of outer space.<br />
• Summarise the text<br />
together. Ask your learner to<br />
recall the main points about<br />
X-rays, such as what they<br />
are, how they work, why<br />
doctors use them, and the<br />
safety measures involved.<br />
• Ask your learner to share<br />
what they found most<br />
interesting about the text.<br />
• Discuss if your learner has<br />
ever heard about someone<br />
having an X-ray. Ask if they<br />
understand why X-rays are<br />
taken and what they help<br />
doctors check.<br />
• What would your learner tell<br />
someone who is nervous<br />
about getting an X-ray?<br />
Ask them to use evidence<br />
from the story to support<br />
their answer.<br />
Before reading During reading After reading<br />
• Read the title and<br />
subheading with your<br />
learner. Ask them to<br />
predict what they think the<br />
advertisement is going to<br />
be about.<br />
• Ask your learner to look<br />
at the text. Have they<br />
seen a similar text before?<br />
What was its purpose? (An<br />
advertisement designed<br />
to persuade someone<br />
to purchase.)<br />
• While reading about the<br />
materials of the Stellar<br />
Explorer Rocket, pause<br />
to ask your learner why<br />
it is important for the toy<br />
to be made from safe,<br />
high-quality materials.<br />
• As you read the legal<br />
notices at the bottom of<br />
the advertisement, explain<br />
what is meant by ‘adult<br />
supervision’. Why do they<br />
think that there is an age<br />
limit and adult supervision<br />
is necessary?<br />
• Encourage your learner to<br />
consider if they would like<br />
to buy the Stellar Explorer<br />
Rocket. What features or<br />
words made it appealing<br />
to them?<br />
• Reflect on the purpose of<br />
the text. Was it effective?<br />
