A Journey To Quality Text.       Honing in on quality.                   Identifying quality texts needs to be thought about in 2 ways. 

# data[].attributes.body
1. What constitutes a quality text? Think about the texts you have just reviewed and try to identify some criteria for what constitutes quality in a text.
2. The summation of the text experiences an individual child has.  So what other texts a child may be exposed to, how often, for how much time? What is the overall text experience.

For pre-primary years, good illustrations, more at a feeling level of discussion. Can be used for picture reading. Text is simple however, some opportunity for inferencing. Connects well with the experiences of that age group.

# data[].attributes.body
Thought the text is simple and the storyline is also simple yet there is a lot to draw in terms of emotions and feelings and how one chooses to be in particular emotion and how others (friends) around can understand and help.

- Not age appropriate for independent reading students for nursery and kinder.
-Students at grade 1 might be able to read, however, the last page where the illustration shows the cat is a stuffed toy will need teacher intervention to develop the visual reading/observation
- Could the last page (stuffed toy illustration different from the explicit) be misleading?
-Can be taken for grade 1, nursery, kinder.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes we can use this text in junior classes.
1. Students can relate to the idea of a messy room, mother being angry, waking u a day and doing anything. The illustrations are descriptive in the book. ex: ball bouncing from the wall.
2.Skills - Prediction, inference, sequencing and making connections, Word Work
3. Teacher can take it students through IRA/Read Aloud.
4. Repetitive text for students to read it independently

- Wondering if the message of the book is appropriate to take into the class by the teacher.
- What if a child in class does feel like a grumpy cat? Would this be a good anchor to connect with the feelings of those students? Why the fun the cat had once was awful? Make text to self connections.
- We could teach sequencing through the sentences.

# data[].attributes.body
Felt it was a bit rushed. Needs a little background to start.
Author has not about the audience - choice of vocabulary, too many themes,

# data[].attributes.body
- high on engagement only due to the popular movie
- The illustrations look as if they're for young readers but the language does not match the age group. Language is quite complex. "According to Grandma..." "She could feel the spirits of her ancestors" too many abstract concepts in here.

# data[].attributes.body
- Too many characters.
- Some may be able to connect to it in case they have siblings.
- however the focus was divided. Each character's stories were introduced but not necessarily with the connection to their sibling.
-Lack of cohesion. only the dialogues are a saving grace.
-would we take this to our students? No.

# data[].attributes.body
Grade 3 - IRA
Abstract ideas - of friendship between a pigeon and a man, death, separation, selfless service
imagery - change in the season
Heart and Mind engagement -
character change
Construction - Images were talking louder than words. The tone/colour provoked feelings

What constitutes the quality text:

a) Ideas and themes
b) Impactful images
c) Vocabulary
d) Level of inference
e) Connection to life
f) text structure
g) depth of characterization

We will pick the following texts for sure:

a) Angelo (Big Love)
- themes of love, relationships, what remains after death, love for animals
- Richness in illustrations
- Rich vocabulary
- Connection between the word and image
- emotional and intellectual engagement is present

b) All I want for Christmas is Rain (Big Love)
- Beautiful illustrations
- Rhyming Structure (child will be able to read)
- text structure was simple, however being poetic, made it beautiful
- Lot of inference
- depth of words and how it touched the hearts and us personally
- Choice of words had definitely a role to play
- Bigger message: What is Christmas for us?

c) Not Cute (More than bit of love)
- word work
- vocabulary building: different animal verbs
- independent reading
- illustrations moved with the text
- deep message: power relationship, what is cute, etc.
- wild life could also be talked about

# data[].attributes.body
- is the exaggeration of reading a performance or something we want to take in class? We feel it may not be necessary.
- The text structures are good. Decoding is easier for students.
