| Description | It is said that the only thing reading can take from you is your ignorance. The issue is how to make pupils start reading, and by reading I mean real reading, not mere looking at several words under a picture. This is even more difficult if the pupil is fighting a specific learning disorder and reading means an extra load. Multisensory structured drama (MSSD) is a complex method using techniques and conventions of drama in education, which have specific targets and use various skills, not only the language ones. It might seem difficult, however, these are simple and easy to use activities in the meaningful context of a literary piece adapted for language pupils. You will get a practical guide that you can use in your classroom. |
