ABSTRACT

Zoe is a ten-year-old with reading difficulties. Her class is currently studying ‘Living things’ as their topic in science. For this lesson Zoe and her group have been asked to choose a particular living thing which interests them and to ‘find out about it’. Zoe and her friends have chosen dolphins and have picked out several information books from their class collection. For the next 45 minutes or so they work quietly and diligently with these books.
