PLACE	SEEDS ROOM

 

TOPIC / THEME: SEEDS – READING PROGRAMME

OBJECTIVE : Students will be able to read silently in class any English materials

ACTIVITIES :

1)    Students are brought to SEEDS room.
2)    Teacher asks students to choose a book and read a page from the book. There must be no picture on the page but if students use a book with lots of pictures then they have to read 2-4 pages.
3)    Students are asked to hold out their fist while reading – if they come to a word they don’t understand and they are not able to guest at all, they have to hold up 1 finger. They can only hold up until 5 fingers.
4)    Students do silent reading.
5)    After all of the students have finished reading the page, teacher asks them to check how many fingers they are holding up.
6)    Then teacher explains that this is a method that they can use to choose the RIGHT book for them :
              a.    0-1 finger: too easy

b.    2-3 fingers: just right

c.    4-5 fingers: too hard

7)    Students are encouraged to use this “GIVE ME FIVE” to help them decide. If they choose too easy, they won’t learn new words, and too hard will make them easily bored.
8)    Teacher concludes the lesson of the day.

MATERIALS : books in SEEDS room library
