BEFORE DURING AFTER
This is a framework for reading lessons and some things that need to be addressed before, during and after.
Before (preparation)
• Teachers need to find background information.
• Activate background knowledge of the student
• Link existing knowledge with new information
• Review the extent of knowledge and enrich.
• Give students an awareness of purpose
• Motivate
• Establish a context
• Establish a purpose for reading
During
• Thinking through organising
• Active reading
• Think through the ideas in the text
• Process information and extract relevant ideas
• Self monitor read and monitor reading of students.
After
• Use the new information
• Critically evaluate the ideas
• Demonstrate an understanding of the text and context
This framework should be used when approaching a reading task. Appropriate activities should be used to address these points.
