Description
The ‘Discussion Starters’ have been designed to support students’ development in comprehension through oral, peer-to-peer discussion. The cards are divided into three categories which cover all skills outlined in Bloom’s Taxonomy: Thinking Within, Thinking Beyond and Thinking About. These sentence starters are suitable for use with both Fiction and Non-Fiction texts. These prompts introduce children to the necessary skills required for critical think while reading.
They are an ideal resource for use during Guided Reading and an excellent resource to send home to parents for distance learning!
NOTE: Remember, comprehension needs to be modeled to the class. It is important that the classroom teacher demonstrates and explains how to use the cards before students are asked to work in groups or independently.
