KWHHL: A Student-Driven Evolution of the KWL
Szabo, Susan
American Secondary Education, v34 n3 p57-66 Sum 2006
Struggling readers at the middle level need help using reading strategies effectively in order to become strategic readers. Middle level teachers need both to model and to teach how to use a variety of reading strategies that will help struggling readers become independent. This article deals with the development of the KWHHL strategy. The KWHHL was used to engage eighth-grade struggling readers with the informational text that they were reading in the classroom. Not only did the KWHHL provide scaffolding while they were learning to use comprehension strategies but it also promoted the use of differentiated learning.
