We have been working hard in reading this week. Some groups have been working independently with their NIE newspaper about Weird and Wonderful Plants and 2 groups have been reading with me.
The groups have been practicing skills that will improve their understanding of what they have been reading. Using the 5 w cards they have been thinking of questions to ask their group about the story and taking turns. Generating questions helps students to clarify the ideas they have read in the text. Students have been using the mini whiteboards to record their ideas and share. This also helps with their spelling fluency.
Students are also asked to make a connection with the ideas in the text . What do they know ? Have they ever.... ? Has that ever happened to them? This helps students to relate to the ideas they are going to read about .
Students are active and visual in their learning .
