Teaching Reading mind maps

Teaching Reading mind maps

These user-made maps connect ideas about reading instruction in different ways. The Interactive Reading Process Model includes decoding, vocabulary and comprehension, while Reading Instruction Evolved traces changes in reading instruction. The map on reading assessment and its links to instruction considers feedback, planning and differentiated instruction.

Using the maps to revise

For a focused starting point, try Making Inferences When Reading. It asks how and why to teach inference-making, and when students can use the skill. Use those questions to organise your own review, then compare your notes with the map.

To explore a different approach, look at Balanced Reading Program, which includes independent, read-aloud, shared and guided reading. Follow the branches and explain the connections in your own words. When you want to check recall or read ideas in a linear format, switch to a quiz or notes on the Teaching Reading unit page. Pick a topic and see where its branches lead.
