Description
Class Experience
In this course, pupils will develop their reading comprehension skills by engaging in dialogue. We will 'talk' our way into understanding a text through using the four strategies of 'Reciprocal Reading': predicting, clarifying, questioning and summarizing. Predicting: What do we think might happen based on.......? Clarifying: What words are unfamiliar? What do we think the word _______ means? Questioning: What questions can you think of related to this text? What do you want to find out?...
Reading comprehension sessions help pupils to understand what they read by: *checking that the text makes sense to them, discussing their understanding, and explaining the meaning of words in context *asking questions to improve their understanding of a text *drawing inferences such as inferring characters’ feelings, thoughts and motives from their actions, and justifying inferences with evidence *predicting what might happen from details stated and implied *identifying main ideas drawn from more than one paragraph and summarizing these *identifying how language, structure, and presentation contribute to meaning *retrieve and record information from non-fiction *participate in discussion about both books that are read to them and those they can read for themselves, taking turns and listening to what others say.
