Download White Paper: Build Vocabulary and Increase Self-Efficacy in Struggling Readers: It’s as Easy as 1-2-3.
May 17th, 2010 | By Plugged-in | Category: Featured, NewsThrough a three-step process that gradually releases responsibility for learning to students, struggling readers can improve comprehension, build vocabulary, and increase self-efficacy.
STEP 1: Teacher-Directed Instruction
The first step toward engaging adolescent and teenage students is teacher-led discussion.
STEP 2: Peer-Supported Learning
Using the gradual release of responsibility model, teachers shift students from whole-class, teacher-directed instruction to guided learning in small groups: Literature Circles (Plugged-in to Reading) or Power Strategy Groups (Plugged-in to Nonfiction).
STEP 3: Self-Directed Learning
The final step in the release of responsibility model gives students a chance to experience engaging nonfiction on their own.
