Re: Oversized classes! reading out loud causes a great deal of stress and anxiety. If possible have them read together as a large group and possibly in pairs and encourage the pairs to help each other. Peer correction has been shown to be more beneficial than teacher correction.
I wouldn't stop the students reading for correction. I just help them along when they are stuck. I make note of some problem words and then address them at the end. That takes some of the pressure off the actual task.
I hope that helps. |
