Wonder - Teaching Slides

The teaching slides provided by Focus Education UK Ltd offer a comprehensive guide for educators on how to enhance students' reading and comprehension skills using the book "Wonder". The slides include a variety of activities designed to prepare students for test questions, encourage confidence in responding to different types of questions, and understand when various types of responses are required. There's an emphasis on using high-quality texts like "Wonder" alongside unseen texts to ensure students are familiar with the range of questions they may encounter. The slides also guide students through the process of word detection, understanding vocabulary, and the importance of checking the meanings of new words.

Reading strategies such as speed reading, skimming, and scanning are outlined to help students efficiently identify key information in a text. These strategies involve reading titles, subtitles, and illustrations to grasp the text's subject, as well as focusing on the first and last sentences of paragraphs to understand the main ideas. For deeper comprehension, the slides suggest reading activities that delve into character analysis, summarizing chapters, and understanding the narrative from different perspectives. Students are also encouraged to engage in creative tasks like writing diary entries and eyewitness reports, which help them explore characters' emotions and actions. Additionally, the slides provide guidance on proofreading, sentence structure, and the use of formal language, ensuring students can evaluate and improve their own writing effectively.
