Home Learning - The Wind in the Willows 3: taking risks, growing up and questions for guided reading


Listen Later

In this episode Carl and Mark discuss part three of Kenneth Grahame's classic tale, 'The Wind in the Willows' as a text for guided reading.  They explore three layers of questioning, including retrieval, inference and philosophical questioning and share strategies for using the text in the classroom or at home as a basis for learning and shared meaning. They also talk about home haircuts, the Premier League, Natalie Wexler and Maryanne Wolf.
