Reading Circles
Reading Circles (RC) is a provision for advanced readers who are ready to read more widely, deeply and critically. Based on the instructional approach of reader response, RC aims to engage advanced readers to help them extend their experience of the world through exposure to a range of age-appropriate rich texts (fiction and non-fiction). Through collective inquiry and the cultivation of an active inquiring stance to reading , readers are encouraged to respond with authentic connections to the texts and their worlds they meet, and to develop capacity for imagination, perspective-taking and empathy. Resources for RC are designed as modules, and each module is constructed around one fiction text. The reading modules vary in pitch and difficulty to cater to a range of verbal talents. |
