• discussing the purpose of texts, for example ‘This text will tell a story’, ‘This text will give information’ (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• repeating parts of texts, for example characteristic refrains, predicting cumulative storylines, reciting poetic and rhyming phrases (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
