Hello! I have been an English teacher in China for many years.From my teaching experience ,I found out that when the students take the English exams,for the reading comprehension part,it is very hard for the students to work out the right answer though they know each word in the passage.As an English teacher ,how can I help them ?Are there any efficient ways ?
I'm looing forward to your reply! Thank you!

Teaching Metacognition Strategies

Metacognition literally means "big thinking." You are thinking about thinking. During this process you are examining your brain's processing. Teachers work to guide students to become more strategic thinkers by helping them understand the way they are processing information. Questioning, visualizing, and synthesizing information are all ways that readers can examine their thinking process. Through scaffolding and reciprocal teaching, students are able to practice the skills that lead to these overt acts becoming automatic. Find a sample lesson here ...
