Reading strategy!!


Hello everybody!!




How can we use the reading strategies?

-We can do activities and use techniques to develop the children's motivation.
-The use of distinct materials and resources to facilitate their understanding.
-The changes in the voice of the characters to differenciate them and comprehend their roles.








Are you ready to know my reading  strategy?
This reading strategy is called ''Pick a corner''.
The teacher selects four corners, associating them four posters.
The posters are related to the children´s opinions, in this case, with the statements:

 
I AGREE.
I DISAGREE
I STRONGLY AGREE
I STRONGLY DISAGREE









Firstly, the teacher says a statement, then children have to go the corner which they think that it is the correct according with their thinking or feelings. Later, students discuss about why they have elected their options with their mates who are in their same corner and finally, they explain to the rest of the class their elections.




What do you think about this strategy?
 
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW…
   On one hand, they make use of this strategy in class is a good idea, because students can express their own opinions of an individual way.
Also, they can contrast with other partners their ideas and thoughts to improve them.
 Also, it can be used in different subjects and forms,
    On the other hand, in this strategies children can carried along by other student's opinions therefore, they have not in mind their own decisions due to they feel attracted to their mates.



How can you use it in class?

 I will use this strategy in a mathematical class to improve the mental operations and calculation of childen. I will explain my students that I am going to use three corners and in each of them, I am going to designate a poster:









IT IS CORRECT!
IT IS INCORRECT!
I AM NOT SURE








Firstly, they will close their eyes to think and operate in silence, secondly, children are going to write their option in a paper and finally, the will go to their corner. The teacher will prove if children are in the correct place before sharing opinions.
They will share their ideas with their group, and then with the rest of the class.




What do you think?


BYE, SEE YOU SOON!
