Welcome to PILNA TV
The Pacific Community (SPC) has partnered with T2L Education and The Fiji Ministry of Education to produce videos to support teachers across the Pacific Islands.
The PILNA analysis identified that our students need extra support in the area of reading comprehension. To achieve the best outcomes in reading comprehension the teacher must include these three types of lessons with each text
- Orientation
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
Lessons on the orientation of the text and a study of vocabulary will give students a better chance of successfully answering comprehension questions. These are the three types of comprehension questions students should be exposed to each week.
- Locating direct information
- Interpreting and inferring information
- Critical thinking
Text Types
We have chosen a variety of text types to demonstrate how to introduce these and explicitly teach each concept with your students. It is important to expose your students to different types of text during the year.
- Narrative Text
- Information Text
- Procedural Text
- Persuasive Text
