Why teach reviewing ?Helps students to

Draw together, integrate what they have learnt, consolidate, compress and link the new ideas, see the main ideas, subordinate ideas

understand what they are reading , Show comprehension link the new ideas with what they already know learn more about the

topic they are learning,

Use the knowledge they gain to ‘go further’

Store new knowledge in memory, remember it later

Automatise their knowledge.

Transfer it and use it in creative ways, in problem solving.

When do you ask students to review?

At the beginning of a lesson: Review what was “learned” in the previous lesson

At the end of a lesson : Review what was learned about a topic

10

Post reading teaching strategies to review and consolidate what has been

learnt by reading. Teach students to

• review their understanding of the text. They consolidate what they read in a range of ways; they can (1) suggest or select the summary sentence for a set of narrative sentences or a paragraph; and (2) select the paragraph in a narrative that answers a particular question or that provides particular information,

• link a positive emotion response with their reading activity; How I liked the text? Were ideas useful /interesting? Did I feel happy / sad ?

• review the writer’s purposes for writing the text and how well it achieved this; Why was the text written ? Did it say what I expected it to say ? How well did it achieve its purpose ?

11

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what has been learnt by reading. Students are taught to

review and evaluate the reading strategies they used, particularly the strategies they were learnt at the time. What reading actions worked?

store in memory what has been learnt. They identify new literacy knowledge and link it with what they already knew; What key new ideas have I learnt; how has my knowledge changed? How do they fit with what I know already ?

identify the new language and literacy knowledge that has been learnt What new ways of saying things have I learnt ? What new words were in the text ?

automatise and practise reading aloud and silently similar text to achieve increased fluency.

12

Consolidate and review a chapter

Having read the chapter at least twice the students compile an understanding of it. As aspects of this they

retell and summarise the chapter for example, they respond to Say briefly what the chapter tells us. What questions does it answer ?

Imagine they were ‘in the chapter’, for example, Suppose you are Sadako writing a post-card to a friend telling them about how you were looking forward to Peace Day. What would you say ?

Review the key ideas learnt

Sadako and the thousand paper cranes

13

Consolidate and review a chapterReview new vocabulary

suggest synonyms for words. They review the synonyms for key words in the chapter, and • use them meaningfully in sentences,

• explain what they mean,

• suggest opposites

• words for describing how things move; run, hop, jump, circled, flying, launched and floated. What other words could have been used ? Why might the writer have used ‘run, hop, jump to describe how Sadako moved ?

• words for telling someone off; scolded, said sharply, looked sternly. What do these words tell you about how Sadako’s father felt at that time ?

• words for a religious ceremony; altar, spirit, prayers, ancestors, gave thanks

• words for being impatient; noisily gulped, almost knocked over. What do these words tell you about how Sadako felt at that time ?

14

Consolidate and review a chapter

Ask inferential or 'go further' questions about the chapter as a whole. These types of questions encourage the students to synthesise their understanding of the chapter as a whole.

The chapter begins with the sentence "Sadako was born to be a runner ". What things in the chapter agree with this. Sadako 'ran outside into the street', she 'rushed like a whirlwind into the kitchen', she 'wriggled and fidgeted' during the prayers, she was impatient after breakfast to get going.

What feelings do you have about Sadako's family ? Do you see in your mind a happy family or a sad family, a caring family or a non-caring family ? What words would you use to describe it ?

15

Consolidate and review a chapterTalk about how the writer presents the main ideas, why the writer selected the words and language used, how the writer could have written the text in other ways.

Identify and infer the techniques used to influence or to persuade them to a particular interpretation, for example, use of language

• The main idea in Chapter 1 is Sadako and her family. Sadako is described as a healthy, active and happy child who is keen to do things and is self motivated. She has hopes and dreams for the future.

• The story is told from Sadako’s perspective, through ‘her eyes’. This helps us see what she is thinking and helps us to relate to her. We don’t get to know how other people see the same situation.

16

Consolidate and review a chapterTalk about their their emotional response to the chapter.

Ask readers "How did you like the chapter / story" ? You can teach them to ask themselves:

• How did I feel while reading the story ?• Why did I feel that way ? What made me feel that way ?• How would I like to change the text so that it was more

interesting ?

17

Consolidate and review a chapteridentify key actions they used while reading the chapter

Things I did while I read

I make a mind picture of each sentence I say other words for some of the wordsI say sentences in my own words

I combine ideas across sentences

What things did you do to help you understand the chapter ? Students identify new actions that helped them, add these to their list of “The actions I use / The things I do when I read” and gradually modify their reading plans.

18

Consolidate and review a chapter

anticipate the next chapter and infer ideas it might discuss.

Students imagine how their understanding of the text so far will extend into the next chapter. This provides a continuity between chapters and assists readers to link each chapter with the overall theme or topic of the text.

• They are asked: What do you think the next chapter will tell us about ?• The next chapter will tell us what Sadako did on Peace Day and

whether it was wonderful for her.

19

Consolidate and review a chapter

extend their relevant content knowledge

Students are asked to Find out what you can about Peace Day in Japan. What questions could you ask about it ? What purposes does it serve ? Do other countries have a similar day ? How is it similar to and different from our Anzac Day ?

20

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what they have learnt by writingStudents identify what they have learnt about expressing their

knowledge in writing, for example, how to write a narrative. They identify

1. what a narrative should say 2. what is a useful plan for a narrative.

The class reads and analyses some of the narratives judged to be successful. They can note that a narrative about A scary story

Says where, when and what happens. Says who are the main characters and how they develop. Describes the background to the events that happen in the story. Describes how the events unfold and a problem or challenge develops.

Describes how the main characters deal with the problem. Describe how the story finishes.

21

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what they have learnt by writingThey put together a plan for writing a narrative in the future, for example

Plan for writing a narrative

Title of the narrative

The setting of the narrative

The main characters of the narrative and how they develop

The main background of the narrative

The events that lead up to the problem or challenge (the complication)

The events that lead to the problem or challenge is solved (the resolution)

The ending (the conclusion).

22

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what they have learnt by writingStudents identify the new language and literacy knowledge that has been learnt by engaging in writing What new ways of writing things have I learnt ?

Students read back over their narrative and note the new ways of speaking, reading and writing they have learnt about writing a narrative, for exampleｷｷ how to write to get suspenseｷｷ how to write to describe short snappy actionsｷｷ how to write to help readers to picture what happens in their mind.ｷｷ how I will use long and short sentences.ｷｷ how to write to tell the readers a little bit about a character at any time.

23

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what they have learnt by writing

Students review the writing actions or strategies they have learnt to write a report.

Students discuss the writing strategies they used and values and purpose of each, for example, for planning, while writing editing and revising and how they take account of the readers when they write.

Teachers can have students use them as self-instructional strategies, share with peers strategies that work and experiment with others.

Things I Do When I Write

24

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what they have learnt by writing

Students review the values of writing for one’s self, how writing can assist one • to gain information, to learn,

• to show what one knows about a topic,

• to establish a permanent record,

• to clarify and organize one's thoughts,

• to integrate or synthesize one's ideas.

Students think about how writing a narrative helps them to ｷｷ use their imagination , be themselves, think creativelyｷｷ say what they want to say, make things happen the way they want them toｷｷ amuse othersｷｷ let their peers know how they are seeing something..

25

Post reading strategies to review and consolidate what they have learnt by writing

Students transfer what they know about writing a report in one context to others. They automatise and practise writing skills to improve fluency and self confidence.

Students, over the following weeks, practise transferring what they know about writing a narrative to other contexts, for example, a fantasy, a fairy tale (for example, a modern version of Little Red Riding Hood or Aladdin), a space adventure or a historical adventure set in Sydney in 1800.

Phase 5: Automatise vocabulary

Students practise recalling vocabulary from memory : they

ｷ

speed up reading, spelling and recalling the words, for example, the names of items as rapidly as possible. Begin each lesson with 5 minutes revising vocabulary taught in the previous lessons.

“Give me for synonyms and antonyms for each of these words as quickly as you can: ancient, fertile, sustain.”

use some words to stimulate/ cue / predict related words based on what they have learnt

What words go with moons, orbit, Solar, year ?

41

Phase 5: Automatise vocabulary (cont.)

Students practise recalling vocabulary from memory : they

ｷ

hear a sentence description and say the word it describes (for words already taught)

I am land that grows lots of food. I am not like the desert.

play card games like Snap, Bingo, Memory in which they match the word with a synonym or antonym or match a word with the category to which it belongs.

42

Phase 5: Automatise vocabulary (cont.)

Students practise recalling vocabulary from memory : they

ｷ

make up quizzes for other groups based on the vocabulary they have learnt.use cloze activities to revise the vocabulary you have taught earlier. Write some sentences using the key vocabulary for the topics. Delete the key vocabulary.

Objects attracted to magnets are made of either ______, ________ or _________.When you stroke a nail or a needle with a magnet, you are ___________ it.
