Description
Another valuable strategy observed was the use of tailored reading materials. Not all students are expected to read at the same level or share the same interest in reading material. Therefore, it is crucial to match texts with a student's reading skill level and their areas of interest. Using texts that are too difficult can discourage struggling readers, while ones that are too easy can lead to complacency. Observational research has shown a significant improvement in reading enthusiasm when students read materials compatible with their interests and abilities, leading to substantial progress in their overall reading proficiency.
Another activity noted was 'sentence scrambles’, where children were given a set of words that they had to rearrange to form complete sentences. This activity enhances comprehension skills, vocabulary, and demonstrates directly the logic behind sentence formation.
