HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE DROP EVERYTHING AND READ STRATEGY

The drop everything and read (DEAR) strategy involves getting learners to stop what they are doing and read for 30 minutes. It is a method that helps build learners’ literacy skills (especially when learners can select their books). However, it is also useful for assisting learners in getting more depth of knowledge (DOK) on a subject being taught when you give them all an article or book to read to help them gain more insight for subsequent parts of the lesson.

Advantages

An effective way of getting learners to spend time learning about a topic.

Helps integrate literacy into your daily activities.

Disadvantages

There will always be a tiny group of learners who squirm and struggle when asked to read. Consider alternatives such as the Read Aloud method if DEAR doesn’t work for your learners.

Follow up DEAR time with comprehension activities and a discussion.

Implementation

Introduce a topic with the initial information to engage the class.

Set a 30-minute silent reading task based on the topic.

Discuss what was read with comprehension prompts.

I would like to express my thoughts on this book, which contains the wonderful biography of India’s First woman Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. I had completely read the book, and on every page, there is an interesting situation enclosed in it. These books truly describe the hard work of her to transform a normal girl into a brave woman leader. I also appreciate the work of the writer who gave an artistic touch to it by providing pictures, which also helps in understanding the whole story. It also gives us motivation to never give up, for example, in childhood, Indira Gandhi was a simple, shy girl, but her dedication towards her country made him the Prime Minister of India, where she did not remain a shy and simple girl but a brave and confident leader who made decisions for her country.
