This reading resource challenges your students to think about how they are reading. Using metacognitive techniques, students learn about why reading is like uncovering something hidden, and learn how to peel away different layers of a text. Tasks and activities are designed to check comprehension while focusing on metacognition.
Reading should never be a passive activity. To read is to think. And this resource gets your learners thinking about how they read. Below is a quick look at what your students do in this lesson.
Along with gray-scaled pages and a digital version, you’ll also get a pre-planned lesson plan, so there is no need to spend time planning.
