To incorporate extended discussions within reading through Reciprocal Teaching, to accelerate students' overall comprehension of multimodal texts, therefore building students' communication skills. My focus is on developing their ability to explain and justify their thinking, as this is an area of weakness for my students.
Target students
My target cohort is a small group of 5 tamariki who are just at the expected level for reading. I chose these students as I feel they lack some of the communication skills required to progress more and that it is holding back their ability to confidently move ahead.
I believe these particular students will pick up the reciprocal teaching strategies quickly and we should soon see positive results. Then these students will be able to become mentors within the class to help establish reciprocal teaching and extended discussions with their peers.
