How can I enhance my small group teaching capabilities to effectively support student
development of reading comprehension?
My specific/focus small group is 4 readers. Tupu Level 2
How can we develop capability - what steps can I take to improve my skills/practice and knowledge?
It might imply
Trying different teaching techniques.
Refining existing skills - make current teaching approaches more effective and efficient.
.. in a small group teaching - working with a small specific group, make smaller and focused lessons really effective.
.. to support the learner’s development:
Fostering metacognition: Teaching them to "think about their thinking" – planning, monitoring, and evaluating their own learning process
Encouraging critical thinking: Moving beyond memorization to asking "why" and "how," evaluating information, and solving problems.
Providing problem-solving opportunities: Presenting challenges that require them to apply their knowledge and reasoning.
Making connections: Helping them link new information to what they already know (activating prior knowledge) and to real-world contexts.
Using questioning techniques: Asking open-ended questions
that stimulate deeper thought rather than simple recall.
… of comprehension in reading - helping them not just read the words, but truly understand, interpret, and make sense of the text.
What steps am I going to take to change my practice?
The steps I'm going to take to change my practice is to:
Foster metacognition: Teaching my readers to "think about their thinking" - planning,
monitoring, and evaluating their own learning process.
Encourage critical thinking - Moving beyond memorization to asking "why" and "how",
evaluating information, and solving problems.
Providing problem-solving opportunities: presenting challenges that require them to apply
their knowledge and reasoning.
Making connections: Helping them link new information to what they already know
(activating prior knowledge) and real-world contexts.
Using questioning techniques - asking open-ended questions that stimulate deeper
thought rather than simple recall.
Seek and Share with colleagues:
Action - Follow up and engage with my team leader and work colleagues.
How - I'll share what i've been trying, what I've learned and what impact I've
observed. I'll ask for their ideas or if they can offer specific feedback on my practice.
Outcome - collaborative learning, shared insights and a supportive professional development.
