What good readers do...

Have a look at these classroom activities to help children learn to think about their thinking and the strategies they use to solve problems :

making animal creations from playdoh

  1. Hi All,
    I found 'identifying what good readers do' to be a good model of a learning conversation led by a teacher.
    I would not only talk about processing strategies but comprehension strategies as well.
    This would even work when talking about writing. I would like to hear from someone else that has tried it.
