I too,love to use the textbook as one of their reading books. Students get a lot of practice with narrative books, but not that much expository text when it comes to reading skills. This is what makes up state standardized| tests. I also use "Think Sheets" and have them make predictions to a question that they have before reading the material. I only allow them to look at the title or skim headings to help them write a question. Then they read and write what the text actually says about their question. It is set up like this: Think Sheet Question: Prediction:
Text:
Simple, | |
but it helps them comprehend what they read much better. Sometimes I write the question if it is an objective of the lesson.Can someone else give a specific example? I would love to try other things.
