Reading out loud: a self-evaluation

Procedure:

After reading aloud, students fill out a self-evaluation form. The fields in the grid can only be partially or gradually colored (from top to bottom). This self-assessment is then compared with the teacher, who suggests appropriate measures for improvement. Student who read very falteringly, should complete the exercises about reading fluency (see teaching proposal 22).

Goal: HLT students read out loud frequently from their own and other texts. However, reading aloud has to be practiced. The self-evaluation form may help students understand what they already know well and where they can improve.
