Literacy for all learners “Metacognition refers among other things, to the active monitoring and consequent regulation and orchestration of these processes …………...” Flavell, 1976. “The term ‘metacognition’ is used to refer to the deliberate conscious control of one’s own cognitive actions (Brown, 1980) - that is, cognition about cognition”, Wray 1994, or “thinking about thinking” Currie 1993. “Metacomprehension refers to readers’ ability to reflect on, monitor, and evaluate their understanding as they read, and to apply correction strategies when comprehension is impaired” Schmitt and Baumann 1990 Metacomprehension Behaviours such as previewing, summarising, paraphrasing, retelling, self-questioning, predicting and verifying, thinking aloud, and re-reading or reading on to clarify meaning are typically referred to as metacomprehension strategies.

This basic fact about human nature should be the starting point for any discussion of how to teach our children to read and write.” • Pinker, 1998 Role of the School • To ensure all pupils make optimum progress through the curriculum by differentiation of teaching approaches, tasks and materials. • To include within the school’s Support for Learning Policy, a statement of its policy on dyslexia and make this available to parents. • To ensure all teachers are aware of the needs of pupils with dyslexia thereby allowing them to modify teaching styles, approaches, materials and assessment strategies as appropriate. Role of the School cont’ • To ensure curriculum planning at both school and class level in order to prevent children with dyslexia experiencing failure. The curriculum should include structured approaches designed to provide early support. • To set up a pupil profile which includes a structured, multisensory learning programme and takes into account the pupil’s particular way of learning; involves the pupil and parent; and pays attention to enhancing the pupil’s confidence and well-being within the school. • To ensure that the pupil profile is regularly monitored, reviewed and updated. • To ensure that examination arrangements do not disadvantage pupils with dyslexia Where are we now? • Assessment tool kit and training of staffs within EAs. • Raising awareness of HMIE within the context of CfE and inspections of educational establishments. • Training materials for staff on Journey to Excellence. • Continued partnership with Cross Party steering group.
