Super-Snappy Advent Drill-Downs Day 6 The Wizard of Oz

Описание: ---------------
Today, we travel to the Kansas prairies and find Dorothy living on the farm with her aunt and uncle. We remember that we can answer retrieval questions without necessarily understanding the answer. I know, it does sound a bit odd, but listen up and see what I mean.

We figure out another word for 'wood' by sapping out the words we don't know in the passage to find the best fit. And we make an inference about Dorothy's life from a clue in the text.

Have a listen to last year's December 6th reading of the book. You might like it as much as Tex!

➡️ Thinking Readers is a video podcast for primary-aged children, designed to develop their critical thinking skills and love of reading. We model and practise the reading skills children need to figure out meaning from texts for themselves and this makes reading so much more enjoyable and gets them top grades and success with entrance exams.

We do longer read-alouds and shorter drill-down sessions in which we analyse the text and consider our reader response. We look at a wide range of books from classics to contemporary and examine different genres and different levels of complexity. This wide exposure shows children the wealth of stories available to them and encourages them to find the stories they love.

The sessions are low-stakes, encouraging yet challenging; they're good for families to watch together and discuss and also for children to watch alone. Children are encouraged to think for themselves and support their ideas with evidence. We avoid cannonised thinking: there are no wrong answers, but well-considered and justified ones.
