Reading Skills Session 5

Assessing reading:
The facilitator gives the participants a case study to read. In the case study a teacher takes steps to monitor and evaluate students’ reading.

The group of participants and the facilitator discusses the following questions based on the case study given:


 * What are Mr	Govind’s methods of	evaluating students’ reading comprehension in English?
 * How does he support the less able	readers?
 * Do you agree with Mr	Govind that when a student	makes errors when reading aloud that learning is taking place? Why	or why not?
 * Mr Govind	notes how important it is to praise and encourage students. How do	you do this in your classes?

Group discussion:

The facilitator initiates a group discussion with the following two questions:


 * Is it important for you to read aloud in	English to your class?
 * Is it important for your students to	have opportunities to do this as well?
