Description¶

The article's lesson pattern engages students actively at each reading phase: "Students will engage actively in guessing and constructing questions before the reading process begin", then examine difficult words, associate the text with existing knowledge and answer formulated questions while reading, and finally make a summary and overall assessment of key ideas after reading. The conclusion highlights strategies such as "guessing, building questions, highlighting difficult words and referring meanings in dictionaries and connecting meanings with sentences according to the context". The article notes even basic forms of these strategies suit primary students.

Design Implications¶
