understand how texts are made cohesive by using personal and possessive pronouns and by omitting words that can be inferred

• identifying language used to build information across a text, for example by connecting similar and dissimilar things
• mapping examples of word associations in texts, for example words that refer to the main character in a story, such as ‘Isy’, ‘she’, ‘I’, ‘sister’, ‘student’
• tracking how a person or thing is identified through a section of a text, for example ‘eggs’, ‘they’, ‘them’
• identifying words left out that can be inferred from the surrounding text; for example, in ‘Xanthe went to school. She had a lovely day’, ‘at school’ is inferred
• using personal and possessive pronouns to link entities previously mentioned in the text
