Literacy - 50 QUICK activities - reading - language, inferencing, purpose & idea

Here are  50 QUICK literacy activities for reading, designed to get your students Literacy Fit - especially your Year 10s!  Think NZQA Literacy co-requisites!  Present as a slide show presentation or print for students to complete in their books.  Slideshow includes answers.  
 
Students complete three short activities:
1.  Superpowers -  (those of the writer) - identify language and structural features and describe effects
2.  Inference -  read 'between' and 'beyond' the lines.
3.  Purpose and Idea students look 'behind' the lines.
