Texts D, E, F, G - quick PEE paragraph

It is difficult to comprehend whether a child's reading is at an evaluative level if they read at a monotone pace. Tom demonstrates he is able to not only read but understand what he is reading by his use of intonation and emphasis. At the beginning of the extract, Tom shouts "NO", as the character in the book, Ross, also shouted - showing he has a pragmatic understanding of the book. Tom then follows by emphasising the "go" in Ross' older brother's sentence. This shows that Tom understands Ross is older brother is attempting to persuade Ross to give the trousers a chance, yet again showing Tom's reading capibilities and pragmatic understanding of conversation.
