Jill Eggleton - Reading

  READING:

Learners should be:
Independent
Relaxed
Curiosity
Critical thinking
Focused
Creativity
Imagination
Problem solving
Humour
Determination
Patience
Collaborators
Uniqueness

Eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary can speak.

Teaching must be real, relevant and rewarding.

OL is the biggest rock in the literacy strands.

Reading and writing float on the sea of talk.

OL is an intellectual issue.

Social media – OL issues

Conversation:
Discussion
Ask and answer questions
Make comments
Listen to others

Explicit OL is essential.

·        demonstrate the practical implementation of this plan showing the approaches in a comprehensive and effective reading programme


Ø  Shared Reading - a step by step guide using rhythmical texts (shared book and poetry)
-       showing the integration of process and comprehension strategies, language features and structure

Reinforces or practices skills
