ABSTRACT

This chapter will focus on a few particularly useful metacognitive strategies that were identified in the research in Chapters 3 and 4. This includes visualising, hearing a voice reading aloud in your head, retelling, summarising, linking, holding your thoughts as you read, questioning, what to do when you don’t understand, thinking about the “crunch” points, and wondering. We will discuss what these strategies are and how to teach them so that children will feel confident enough to use these strategies independently.
