Before,+During+and+After+Reading

Questions:
 * How useful would this Wordle be as a before reading strategy for your students?
 * What type of learners would benefit from using a Wordle?

What a useful previewing activity! Students use technology to visually and linguistically see the most commonly used words in a text. If students were then asked to __predict__ what the article/text is going to be about based on the wordle, then revist the predictions after the reading. Students could also generate __questions__ based on the wordle that they could answer during the reading. It provides ALL students with an introduction to the text and topic. Also this could act as an aid to ELL and Special Education students who struggle with long, dense texts as they could use the wordle to __pre-define vocabulary words__ that they will encounter during the reading. I could see this being an excellent previewing activity for visual and linguistic learners. Excellent!
