Do you want to create a supportive learning environment for struggling readers and extend the skills of confident readers? Reciprocal teaching is a student-led learning activity that empowers learners to take charge of their own learning. It is an excellent strategy to improve students’ comprehension and reading skills as well as their thinking skills. It encourages students to think about their own thought process during reading and helps them understand content better. It is also an ideal strategy to teach CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) to ESL and ELL students. Please read all the information in this link http://www.readingrockets.org/strategies/reciprocal_teaching before you start using the role cards.
All the classroom tools you need to manage your classes! From amendable AFL and Dirt Time materials to target setting, behaviour management and rewards, seating plans and laying down your classroom rules.
