Metacognition

This week in ELA we learned about METACOGNITION and real reading.

We learnt that fake reading happens when you read a book, but you are not paying attention. You read the words, but are thinking about something els.e  Real reading happens when we read AND think about what we are reading!

We did this by relating reading to salad! Fake reading is like a salad made of just lettuce.... BORING!! Real reading is like a salad with all the delicious toppings, like carrots, onions, tomatoes, croutons, bacon bits and dressing! More delicious, more fun, and definitely more meaningful!

Metacognition is the fancy word to describe this process... it is when we think about  our thinking!
