Think alouds
The think-aloud strategy involves teachers modeling their thinking process aloud while reading to demonstrate how skilled readers comprehend text. When using think-alouds, teachers verbalize their thoughts, questions, predictions, mental images, connections to prior knowledge, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. This allows students to learn how to monitor their own comprehension. Think-alouds are an effective way for teachers to diagnose students' strengths and weaknesses and for students to gradually internalize self-monitoring of their thinking.

Things To Need To Know To Help A Struggling Reader
Here are some applied theories educators use in helping pupils who struggle in reading. As future teachers, education students learn them. Further, parents and guardians as well as private tutors who have no formal training in education can learn and use them in their roles in the education of future of the society.
Guided reading
Guided reading is a small group reading instruction approach where the teacher works with students who read similar levels. It helps students develop reading strategies, enjoyment of reading, and critical thinking. During guided reading, the teacher introduces a text, students read silently, and the group discusses what they read. The teacher monitors students and the session ends with a review. Guided reading sessions are short, usually 10-20 minutes, a few times per week depending on reading level. Students are grouped based on their reading competencies and needs. The teacher assesses students through observations, discussions, and running records to determine reading levels.
Questioning Strategy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Think Alouds
- 3. A think-aloud of reading is creating a record, either through writing or talking aloud, of the Strategic decision-making and interpretive processes of going through a text, reporting everything the reader is aware of noticing, doing, seeing, feeling, asking, and understanding as she reads. A think-aloud involves talking about the reading strategies you are using and the content of the piece you are reading. Dr. Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, Improving Comprehension with Think-Aloud Strategies, 2001, p. 19
- 5. Self-Assessment: Think-Aloud Strategies Never Sometimes Often Always Make a prediction Ask a question Clarify something Make a comment Make a connection Figure out if I need to reread Ask myself if I understand what I’ve read Make mental pictures (visualize) Compare what is being learned now to what has been learned previously
- 6. Good Readers vs. Poor Readers Good Readers Poor Readers Often Do Not Activate prior knowledge Set a purpose for reading Decode text Make a personal connection to text Make predictions Visualize Ask questions Monitor understanding Summarize Apply what they learned Draw on background knowledge as they read Make predictions as they read Visualize the events of a text as they read Recognize confusion as they read; Recognize a text's structure or organization as they read Identify or recognize a purpose for reading Monitor their strategy use according to the purpose for reading the text; In other words, students do not necessarily think while they are reading
- 7. Informational Text Features What to look for when reading informational text: Headings and subheadings Captions photographs, pictures, illustrations diagrams charts and graphs bold, highlighted and italicized text parentheses, dashes
Editor's Notes
- Students are frustrated when we hand them a textbook or a sophisticated novel and say, Here, read this, without giving them the tools, rehearsal, and practice to prepare them for successfully reading it. Dr. Jeffrey D. Wilhelm, Improving Comprehension with Think-Aloud Strategies, 2001, pp. 19 & 20 . A think-aloud reveals the inner conversation that good readers have with a text to explore its meaning Talking out loud to students about your thinking provides them with good models of comprehension strategies
- In order for students to successfully use this strategy, the teacher must first model use of the strategy repeatedly and explicitly. Some teachers use a signal when modeling so that students can tell the difference between when the teacher talks to them or when the teacher is thinking out loud. Some teachers point to their heads as a cue. Some hold up a light bulb sign. Either way, it’s important that the students distinguish the difference between the two. Then the students need practice monitoring their own reading and thinking aloud with prompting and guidance from the teacher. For instance, the teacher may focus on only one particular skill at a time from the bulleted list in the beginning. Or, the teacher can read aloud to the students, and prompt them to share what they are thinking, so that she can give immediate feedback or chart the students’ responses for future reference. Lastly, students will use the strategy independently, verbally and written. Think-alouds can be sticky notes in text to signify where a student may be making a prediction, clarifying meaning, or questioning the meaning of the text.
- Guiding Questions for Discussion: Which strategies did the teacher use most often? Why do you think the teacher uses them the most ? Which strategy does she use the least ? Why do you think she uses it the least ? Which strategy could the teacher have used to aid in comprehension? Discuss in your group what role the think-aloud played in explicit instruction?
