How to make pupils read a text?
When it comes to reading a text in French, some of my pupils struggle and get easily distracted!
I have tried the "I am going to start reading the text, follow as I am reading it because you might be the next one to read..."
but it has failed to work from times to times.
So after reading some ideas from other teachers, I decided to change some of the words when reading the text, see if the pupils could notice it... And it worked!
I said to my class I was going to read the text but would make some mistakes and they had to spot them.
I started to read a paragraph about jobs and changed some words. The whole class was engaged as they were trying to spot my mistakes.
Next time, I will make this task more "formal": the pupils will have the text and they will underline the words I changed.
And you? which techniques do you use to make your pupils read?
