SharpReading Stage 5 ONLiNE Course
Rationale for this Course
This course introduces 'Big Picture' (Text Level) Comprehension and builds on the work done in Stages 3 and 4 at the sentence level.
Stages 3 and 4 focussed on the accurate construction of meaning in sentences as understanding the text message is a prerequisite to any attempt at critical literacy.
Now we want to build 'big picture' or text-level comprehension. As always the point of difference is that we develop the use of these skills WHILE the reader is reading to further develop the ACTIVE reading mind.
Identifying or analysing text features help readers locate and organise information in the text and hold onto it. This processing results in transference to long-term memory which makes it available for retrieval in later learning.
