Using knowledge about language

Early First Second Third Fourth
I have explored and experimented with Gaelic words and phrases.
I have explored sounds, letters and words, discovering how they work together, and can use what I have learned to help me read.
I can understand how a bilingual dictionary works and use it with support.
I can use a bilingual dictionary independently to help me understand new language.
I can use my knowledge about language and other strategies to help me to understand and analyse more detailed texts containing some unfamiliar language and more complex structures.
    I can make comparisons and explore connections between spelling patterns in English and Gaelic.
I can recognise features of words in the language I am learning and use them to make sense of vocabulary and of the connections between words.
 
    I can recognise and comment on other features of my own language, which help me to make sense of words in Gaelic.
