literacy knowledge.
![Page 29: Welcome to Bonnells Bay Public School. About The Parent Information Session: General information about our school What our school offers School Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551ad361550346b2288b5ca2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

To assess a child’s understanding of a
text read to them, the teacher may ask
the student to retell what happened in
the story in their own words.
![Page 30: Welcome to Bonnells Bay Public School. About The Parent Information Session: General information about our school What our school offers School Culture](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062318/551ad361550346b2288b5ca2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
