Metacognitive strategies

Already in teachers repertoire

-they must be alert to these

strategies and consciously model

them for students.

Example: I remember when I was in

Grade 1 my teacher told us to draw

our house and the members of the

family. And say something about our

own drawing.

The mother is a teacher. She’s in the school.The father is a security guard. He is in duty.The child is in the school, too.

So, no one is left at home.

meta-cognitive strategies

D-iscover the sign

R-ead the problem

A-nswer
