IN THE NEWS & ON THEIR LIPS


Hi Everyone,
The Dogo News and BBC Class Clips sites, host some terrific current affairs resources, to help stimulate oral language and comprehension activities in the classroom. I am always on the look out for short length, highly engaging texts, to use with my non and reluctant readers and/children with language disorder, in upper primary and secondary settings. Both of these sites really fit the bill.
Although I have used them during the literacy block, I do find that students sneak off to have a quiet read and think about them on their own - which tells me that I am on to a winner!

  1. Now that's my kind of sneaking - I shall go and check them out and see if I can encourage some more sneaking over here.
