RECOMMENDATIONS
This project can be used for the lessons of reading in the 3 rd form in a state primary school.
During such lessons pupil’s work can be estimated according to 2 criterions (2 grades): quality of retelling and quantity of jettons given for doing the tasks correctly. Quality of retelling includes: quality of pronunciation, grammatical correctness and following a plan. The second grade can be given to pupils according the following calculation: 5j, 4j = 5 point; 3j, 2j = 4 point.
It is recommended to run diagnostic test for defining the level of pupil’s language knowledge before such lessons. These tests can vary depending on learned material and be run no less than two times a year.
Special attention should be given to Feedback for timely updating the lesson.
In my opinion using such techniques as Differentiated training and RWCT will surely makes impact in developing reading skills.
