Read–Talk–Map–Write

Read Talk Write
This ‘during’ reading strategy supports comprehension through short, focused reading and discussion and writing. Students establish partners and decide who is A and who is B. Students read a short passage individually and silently. When both partners have completed the passage they close the book and each person re-tells what they read. After each person shares, each person records a summary of the passage. In K-1 teachers may need to do this as a whole group and read and write for students.

Read Draw Talk Write
This strategy is a variation of Read Talk Write and its basically the same idea with the exception that before students re-tell what they read they draw representations of what they read.
