Larbert High School has highlighted the value of reading in this parody you tube video entitled ‘I like big books’.
The video can be viewed by clicking on this link.
It was produced as part of Literacy Week 2013.
Active Literacy is used in all Falkirk establishments and aims to develop six key reading comprehension skills which are:
- Prior knowledge and understanding
- Metalinguistics
- Visualisation
- Inference
- Main ideas
- Summarising and paraphrasing.
All six comprehension skills are explicitly modelled and taught and pupils then apply these skills across a wide range of texts across a variety of genres.
