I realised that Directed Reading Thinking Activity allowed for a very interactive lesson with my students. The strategy allowed for stu vdents to use their prior knowledge in making predictions about the text. Additonally, my students were better able to understand the story as it forced them to use their critical thinking skills and develop their reading abilities. I also observed that my "silent students" were also eager to share their experiences. Moreover, after reading the text students were able to use examples from the text to validate or refute their predictions. I therefore, conclude that the DRTA was very useful in assisting my students in responding to the text.
