K-W-L Charts
This strategy can be employed in the
classroom in several ways. KWL charts help student organize their thought by
building on background knowledge and inquiring on what they want to learn more
about. KWL charts help students speak out their ideas and thoughts in a very
organized fashion. By using this strategy students can make connections with
things they already know to what they are learning. This strategy helps
students become active readers by asking questions and making connections. This
leads to student motivation and comprehension. Students are excited to voice
their opinion on what they want to know about a specific topic. It allows for
the students to take learning into their own hands. After students learnt the
new information the KWL chart is a fantastic way to organize what they learnt
and have all the information and connections written down in front of them.
This is a great scholarly article that
speaks about the many benefits using a KWL chart has in reading.
This lesson plan is a great example of
applying a KWL chart to a reading lesson that focuses on comprehension and
critical thinking.
