Conclusionwith Chef Tammy

Activating prior knowledge through anticipation guides, ReQuest, problem solving, guided imagery, IPEC charts and hands-on activities are stimulating predictions and anticipation about the content that encourages students to read.

Meaningful learning with texts occurs when students experience a sense of satisfaction with text and a feeling of accomplishment.

It takes motivation, a sense of direction and purpose, and a teacher who knows how to create conditions in the classroom that allow students to establish their own motives for reading.

To reduce any uncertainty that students bring to reading material, you can help them raise questions and anticipate meaning by showing them new ideas presented in the text.
