K-W-L Teaching Model

K-W-L teaching model: K stands for "What i Know", the W for "What i Want to learn," and the L for "What i Learned."


Steps to be followed:

1. The K and W steps take place before reading. The teacher and the students discuss what the group already knows about the topic of the reading material.



2. Class discussion of what the students what to learn.



3. Each student writes down personal questions to be answered by the reading.



4. Students then read the material.



5. After they have finished reading, they record what they have learned from the reading.



6. If the reading did not answer all of their personal questions, students can be directed to other sources for the answers.
