Shared Highlighting

Teachers can highlight words, phrases or passages of text that pupils will then see when reading.

Teachers might choose to highlight:

• text that is particularly effective,

• specialist vocabulary,

• text features, or,

• text with a particular feature, for example, rhyme or phoneme.

When adding notes, teachers might choose to:

• add explanations to text that might be challenging,

• add prompts for reflection or discussion, or,

• add details on follow-up tasks for pupils.
