Do: Show slide no. 22 Definition of Post Reading

Say:

-Post or after reading activities help the learners understand texts further through
critically analyzing what they have read, and these are carried out after you have
successfully implemented the Pre-Reading activities and the While-Reading or
During Reading activities.
-Post Reading or after Reading activities are helpful for several reasons:
-It helps learner use the newly learned words.
-It promotes the use of a language in creative ways.

Do: Show slide no. 22-25 Post Reading Components

Say:
Post Reading Components are the following:

*Engagement Activities
Is a series of learning tasks that are given to the learners after taking up
literature while they are engrossed in the text and are experiencing the essential
elements of the story (main idea, setting, problem to be solved, main events, how
the problem is solved and what the story is about).
*Enrichment Activities
Activities that are related to the literature studied but go beyond the
essential text. They are more concerned with the exploration of individual
response, or the learning related concepts and themes.
*Skills Development
Explicit teaching of skills (subskills) within the context of the literature
studied.
*Across the Curriculum
Activities that correlate the literature just studied with other subjects in the
curriculum.
Do: Show Slide 25

Say: Here are some questions you can focus on while listening:
1.Why is it important to discuss the story after reading it?
2.What are the five levels of comprehension? How are they different from each
other?

Do: Show slide no.26-35

1.Post Reading Discussion-The Art of Questioning

a. Why is discussion important?

Questions strengthen reasoning abilities of children as well as help them

clarify/define their initial response to the text.

Teacher weaves questions beautifully, efficiently achieve the insight objective.

Do: Show Slides 36-48

b.5 levels of Reading Comprehension

Say: May I request somebody from the group to read.

Literal Comprehension
-the ability to obtain a low-level type of understanding by using only information
explicitly stated in the text.

Interpretation/ Inferential
-the questions require answers that are not directly stated in the text but are
suggested or implied.

Evaluation/ Critical Reading

-Involves the making of personal judgement on the text by the reader, usually
based on his/her experience.

Integration/Application to Self or Life

-Involves the reader “putting him/herself in the place of the character”; reading is
used for some practical purposes, for values clarification.

Creative Reading
-Involves coming up with new ideas or reproducing the text information in other
forms: dramatizing, writing another ending, writing a letter, musical interpretation.

Say: Now let us go back to our focus questions.

Do: Show slide 49

Say: Care to share your answer question no.1? Thank you for sharing your ideas
ma’am/sir.

Questions

Do: Show slide 55-57

Ask: Why do we give Engagement Activities?

Say: Before going any further, here are some questions you can focus on while
listening to our discussion. May I request a volunteer to read these questions for
us.

2.What are the types of engagement activities (organized according to the story
they focus on) that caught your attention during the discussion?

discussing the story?
4.Are engagement activities only for children who can already read and write?

4. Assign leaders (group leader, assistant leader, materials keeper, floor keeper). It
will depend on how many children are in a group.

Do: show slide 82-83

Ask: How can we achieve maximum learning for the children?

*Teacher must introduce activities one at a time to the whole class. This can
be done by “walking through’ the activity; by modeling the way the activity is
used, developed, and completed.
*Let all the students work on the same activity.
*Simultaneous Engagement Activity (different activities are given to each
group) can be done if the children have mastered all the activities.

Say: Now let us go to Enrichment Activities

Do: Show Slides 84-89

Activities that are related to the literature studied but go beyond the essential
text. They are more concerned with the exploration of individual response, or the
learning related concepts and themes.

These are the activities under Enrichment Activities. May I request a volunteer to
read. Let us discuss each of them.

Enrichment Activities:

1.Going Beyond the Story

To extend the literary experience, the teacher thinks of enrichment activities
that will bring the students beyond the basic elements of the story. This is done to
maximize the reader's response to the literature as well as to strengthen the
learning of new concepts.

2.Reading-Writing Connection
Students are asked to write about a similar experience or think of another
ending for the story. If the story is about friendship, they could write a letter to
real friends.

3.Creative Dramatics
Make up your own play or short skit based on the story. Think of songs. Copy
movements of the characters or think of movement of other animals like the one
taken up in the story.

4.Arts and Crafts

If the story was about bugs, create bugs made from recycled materials. If it
was about cookies, bake your own cookies.
5.Inquiry Activities
Now is the time for that Special Science Project. The children's interests have

just been stimulated by the story.

Enrichment Activities:
Writing Prompts
-An aid to which you make your learners start putting ideas into writing
* A word
*A short Phrase
*A complete paragraph
* A picture of what the story is all about

Skills Development
Explicit teaching of particular skills (sub skills)
Within the context of the literature studied.

Across the Curriculum

Activities that correlate the literature just studied with other subjects in the
curriculum.

comprehension? Care to share ideas ma’am and sir?

face classes is still at hand, to what extent do you develop the different
levels of comprehension among your learners? Any answers? Any

Wrap up the session by showing the quote

“Let us teach every child how to use reading as a superpower to elevate her mind,
spirit, and over-all sense of well-being. Through the gift of reading, we give this
child the chance to be in the world---a world that she makes her own, where she
never feels alone, 365 days a year.”
