Explicit teaching

Explicit teaching - Students experiencing difficulties are likely to require more intense and explicit instruction (Graham & Harris 2005). This might include:

• additional explanation

• preteaching of prerequisite knowledge, strategies and skills for new learning

• repeated modelling

• the implementation of teaching steps that are further broken down into smaller

  steps (Mastiopierri & Scruggs 2002)

• additional teaching and learning experiences at each phase of learning (acquisition,

  fluency, maintenance, generalisation)

• instructional scaffolding
