Teach pupils differentreading skills explicitly with close reference to the text types instead of just explaining the meaning of the vocabulary. drmdm.wordpress.com

21. Some suggestions…… Guide pupils to read for meaning (i.e. understand the main ideas/gist of the whole text before learning how to locate specific information) Use effective questioning techniques to help pupils develop reading skills as well as critical thinking skills and creativity drmdm.wordpress.com

22. Some suggestions…… Allow ‘wait time’ for pupils to formulate their responses Do not just drill the item types without telling pupils how they can make sense of what they read drmdm.wordpress.com
