Unit 4
Miss Hall said, “We will not sell Rex because he is special. We will put him on a special table. Then we will say, ‘Guess the dog’s name.’ ” “Yes!” said Candice. “And if somebody says ‘Rex,’ they will win the dog.” Candice grinned. Her toy dog was special!
End
1 Candice’s toy dog is special. What does ‘special’ mean here? a) better than the other toys b) worse than the other toys c) the same as the other toys 2 What must you do to win the toy dog? 3 How did Candice feel a) in the middle of the story? b) at the end of the story? 4 What would you call a toy dog?
• Question 3: The answer to Question 3a is in the story ( Candice looked unhappy ). To answer Question 3b, pupils have to make inferences. At the end we are only told that she ‘grinned’. Explain that we often know how a character feels from what they say or what they do or by looking at an illustration. • Ask pupils to suggest another word for ‘grinned’ ( smiled ). Ask how Candice looks in the picture.
