In Studio 214, we work in cooperative groups a lot, whether that be with just two people on a team or four. This reading strategy was shared with me a couple of years ago and is a great comprehension and reflection strategy in reading. Students have a recording sheet to reflect, but they record what their partner said and not what they were thinking. They stop every two-three pages and make a reflection. Each reflection must begin with one of these starters to guide their thinking: "I wonder; Wow, I didn't know that; or This reminds me of". They take turns reading. We read a non-fiction science passage this week using this strategy and will continue to use it throughout the remainder of the year.
