Random thoughts: 2 words Decoding

This year, I teach the bridging graduating class. Their vocabulary base is really limited in the begining of the year. 

As the year progresses, I feel that they should know enough words to start tackling comprehension passages in July.

Yet, I am surprised that they can't cope with simple MCQ. When I get them to read one to one to me, they can read 60 to 70 percent of the words, and yet they are not decoding the text. What a pity, I felt.

After more observations, I noticed that pupils tend to give up when their read long sentences, they might know most of the words in the sentence but not decoding. 

Thus, without explaining a single word, I simply ask them to identify the verb and noun of a sentence (I dun use the term "verb" and "noun") I simply say, the word not useful for me to draw a accurate picture, what is happening ...

No teaching of words, just selecting of words, and if a sentence is too tough, they skip to the next.

As I draw, they get excited.

The words start flowing. Although most of the time they are complaining how ugly the drawings are, it doesn't bother me. 

After the exercise, I ask them to retell the story.

Then, I ask them to try the questions again. Most pupils get most questions correct, this time round.

This exercise of visualization of a image with at least 2 words become a importing thinking process when the pupils decode a text. They start to try to make sense of a sentence despite having difficult words that they don't understand.

It also become more palatable to ask pupils to.keep reading and guessing. I ask, are u able to form an image? Nope, poor quality words, chose another to say if it helps. 

Maybe there is still some novelty in this approach, and my pupils are willing to try.

This is a good way, also to explain the term "key words" now, so what is the question asking, what are the key words.

They know 2 words is all it takes to make some sense of a passage, of course the more words the more accurate the picture.

Don't give up. My pupils

  5. i went through some difficult times when i had been let down by everyone around me, i came across Jennifer killer's post on a blog where she talked about a hacker who helped her out a month ago called (vladimir Kolarov),
    its actually impossible to put in words how much of a Genius he is and also can't stop thanking him for helping me through my divorce case, and also my Nephews school grades.

  7. I have personally suffered a fair share of infidelity by my ex wife who had multiple affairs during our marriage.
    I got a divorce after catching her in the act severally, however I needed extra help to do this so I had to hire a private investigator
    with the name called vladimir kolarov of thehackerspro.com after i had done an extensive resarch on him using duckduckgo to surv the darkweb and his name came out on top.
    no wonder he was quite expensive to hire.
    Everyone knows that cheating partners are the most sneaky and her phone was always glued to her so I could not have physical access
    no matter how much I tried.
    The good thing is that this Private Investigator didn't even need to physically have my wife's phone to get in,
    he hacked the device and diverted all my wife's messages directly into my phone.
    vladimir kolarov and thehackerspro firm offers any sort of hacking related issues ranging from hacking schools data base,
    upgrade of grades, IP tracking and monitoring of any social media accounts etc.
    If you need similar help contact him via the website thehackerspro.com or text/call him on +1(646) 948-8125 )
    AND you can chat their customer service up on the livechat on their site.
    I really hate infidelity and I am trying to help everyone that is in such an emotionally abusive relationship so thank me later.
