A Note About Junior Journal 64 – All About Trees (from TSM JJ64)
  • The texts in this journal are linked by the topic of trees, providing opportunities for ākonga to think about trees from scientific, cultural, environmental, and artistic perspectives.
  • Having several texts exploring the same topic stimulates curiosity and enables ākonga to build their knowledge over time.
  • Background knowledge, including vocabulary knowledge, contributes to success in reading.
  • In turn, reading success builds knowledge, comprehension, and motivation and strengthens reading behaviours that will support further reading.
