Word Study in Action: Building Metacognition

Understanding Word Structure
Building Metacognition
Students discuss strategies they employ when they encounter unknown words
in their reading. These include referring to word walls and comprehension
keys posted in the classroom, chunking parts of words, predicting from
context and asking others for help. The teacher emphasizes that these
metacognitive strategies help students to gain independence in reading
and to set their own next steps as readers.
How is a focus on metacognition reflected in the four strands of the
Ontario Curriculum: Language (1--8)?
