This active reading strategy confronts the practice of passive reading. To try this, before your students begin reading a text or story, give them each a task or 'mission'. For example, this could be a list of information or questions that students need to find the answers to. This will encourage children in the classroom to pay attention and seek out the details in a text.Topic-based reading exercises, each one including a reading text, pre-reading vocab, comprehension/vocab quizzes and suggested discussion questions Challenge them to colour coordinate their markings, with each different coloured highlighter pointing out a different feature of the text. This is great for visual learners, who learn best with a bright pop of colour.

The resources provided by The Teacher's Corner cover a variety of literacy-focused topics such as: comprehension, word lists, centers, reading skills, vocabulary, and more. It improves the likelihood that children will achieve well in other areas of their learning, as reading comprehension is a core aspect of most subjects. A collection of printable short stories for young learners of English (elementary to upper-intermediate). With audio and exercises. For older learners, this should only be the first step! Encourage them to take notes, either on a separate piece of paper, or in the margins, annotating the text as they read it. This can help them approach the text analytically, ensuring that they are engaging fully with what it is they're reading. It can also encourage them to think creatively about the text, thinking outside the box to come up with interesting and unique takes. They could jot down their own ideas about the topic, or write questions that they'd like to ask the author, the answer to which haven't been included in the text itself.

You could begin by assessing your tutee’s current reading level using this 60-Second Reading: Reading Age Assessment . Children are required to read a selection of words out loud from the word mat, and you will need to mark whether they read it correctly or not. From their result, you can calculate their reading age. The resource also allows you to record information from a second assessment, after you’ve had time to tutor the child and help them improve. This is great for showing the child’s parents the improvements that have been made through the reading lessons. For example: A fairy tale might have dragons and giants but a story about a normal day at school wouldn’t. A good way to boost critical thinking skills, especially through discussion questions or group tasks immediately after reading. In the classroom, you can also use our fantastic Summarising Sheba collection pictured below. Summarising Sheba provides you with strategies for improving reading skills in your Year 3 and Year 4 children. Read about your favourite movies including horror movies, sci-fi, drama, action and documentaries. With videos and vocabulary lists.
