Independent Reading Step-by-Step
Independent Reading Step-by-Step
BEFORE
- Remind learners where the books are in the library. Ensure that books are levelled.
- Remind them to put their books back in the same place where they found them.
- Call 10 learners to choose their books quickly. Repeat this until every learner has reading material.
DURING
- First let learners read independently and silently for 10 min. Gradually increase this time each session.
- If learners have taken books that are too difficult, help them choose books at a more suitable level.
- Call them together and have a quick discussion about what they read.
AFTER
- Make sure learners return their books correctly. If possible, assist them to borrow books.
