This week for reading we have been doing 'Availl'. 'Availl' is a comprehension programme where you get to watch a movie and do several activities relating to the subtitles while watching the movie. The movie we watched was 'Hoot'. We did the activity 'Surprise Subtitles' twice and the activity 'Take a dictionary to the movies' once. For the dictionary activity we had to get into groups of 5. My favourite activity was the 'Surprise Subtitles'.

ReplyDeleteAvaill is such a fun activity to do seeing as we get to work together in groups and read subtitles. I really enjoyed watching Hoot, what was your favourite part?
