Ambientes de aprendizaje

Una manera de trabajar la comprensión de lectura a la vez que se trabajan habilidades de pronunciación es la lectura en voz alta. Para esto, genere un ambiente de silencio y respeto en la sala de clases: Please be quiet and pay attention to the text your classmate is going to read. Posteriormente, solicite a los estudiantes que lean fragmentos del texto,luego pida a un estudiante diferente que resuma la idea principal del fragmento leido: Can you summarize what your classmate read?

Es importante que al final de la clase se dé retroalimentación a los estudiantes que leyeron de manera personal,ya sea en forma verbal o escrita, para que tengan oportunidad de corregir su pronunciación.
