STUDENT EXCELLENCE PROGRAM
REPORTS
These activities can be repeated to allow students to practise visualising and paraphrasing to comprehend sentences.
Visualising strategy
Use the RIDER strategy (Read, Imagine, Describe, Evaluate, Repeat) to assist students to practise visualising sentences. Ask the student to:
read a sentence from a text
imagine a picture of what they have read in their mind
describe the image of what they have read
evaluate the image they have created by referring back to the sentence in the text
repeat the process again by reading the next sentence.
Paraphrasing strategy
Use the following strategy to assist students to practise paraphrasing sentences. Ask the student to:
read one or more sentences from a selected text
state the topic and the key ideas presented in the text they have read
identify key words in the text and suggest synonyms for these key words
say the sentence(s) another way by changing as many words as they can
reread the relevant sections of the text to check that what they have paraphrased maintains the meaning of the text.
When the student can paraphrase sentences, repeat the process using one or more paragraphs from the text.
Comic Life
(available on eduSTAR) allows teachers and student to create annotated visual sequences.
