A Look at the OGT: Share Your Test-Taking Thinking Processes Through Think-Alouds
PROFESSIONAL COMMENTARY

"A Look at the OGT" is a column featured in each issue of AdLIT's In Perspective. This month's focus (February 2007) is about building reading stamina. Teacher Jan Goodwin explores ways teachers might help prepare students for the OGT. Explaining that "use of a think-aloud is one way in which struggling readers can learn about the strategies employed by good readers," Goodwin goes on to discuss how this principle might carry over to prepping for a test question. She supplies the method and means for classroom demonstration (reading and mathematics) as well as questions from the Ohio Graduation Test. (author/ebm)
