The confidence of the slower readers can be improved since they may do the reading exercise in about the same time as the faster student. The third encourages all students to work together to guess the meaning of new words from context. Pieces of paper with answers to pre-reading questions are put on the wall around the room. She proposes having students circulate in pairs searching for five answers to match questions they have. The first pair to finish wins.
Students sit down and discuss the questions and answers.
When students are reading off the wall, it helps if the reading is enlarged on the photocopy machine. Whatever is put on the wall should be spread evenly around the room. Students should be encouraged to start with different pieces of text to avoid bunching up around one posting on the wall. Students can work in pairs as Hess suggests and also in triads. Students who finish early can help team members who are still working.
