Preparing review lessons for the Gudschinsky instructional program

Preparing review lessons for the Gudschinsky instructional program

Introduction

Sometimes you should include review lessons as part of the primer progression, but it is possible to review previous lessons without including the actual lessons in the primer. Whether or not you include them in the primer, you should plan review lessons every five or six lessons. These lessons are in addition to the review of the previous lesson which is done at the beginning of a new lesson. You can use games and other activities which encourage reading and writing of elements that the learners have previously been taught.

Tip:

This module is based on A Workshop guide for primer construction by Katharine Barnwell. Because the book is an external document, each link to it opens a PDF file using the Acrobat Reader program and displays the first page of the book. You can jump to a specific location in the book by using the appropriate bookmark in the outline window.
