Modelled Reading

When reading a new text, the teacher use modelled reading to introduce a new strategy.

The teacher is responsible for reading the text and students are expected to listen attentively.

Students become aware of the new strategy by listening attentively.

Offer variety to students.

The teacher should consider the age, interests, and needs of students when selecting texts.

Students should see themselves reflected in the resources

Select texts that are above student reading level to expose them to richer vocabulary.

Must be purposeful

Discuss writing techniques, text features, and elements of a story.

Engage students in texts they are not yet able to read independently.

Discussion can be used to improve students' comprehension skills

Reluctant readers can become more interested in reading and be influenced to select more challenging texts, if the planning is well constructed.
