You can use the 3 Sharings with a class novel, children’s reading books or as a way for children to review/suggest texts to one another. Whilst/after reading a text, children can share their: Likes and Dislikes: what parts of the texts did the child (not) enjoy and why? Puzzles: what was difficult to understand? What would the child like to know more about? Connections: how does the relate to what the child already knows?
