The KWL thinking routine is a powerful learning strategy that encourages students to actively engage with new topics by reflecting on what they Know, what they Want to learn, and what they have Learned throughout the learning process. Here’s more about each stage of the KWL thinking routine:
Know: In this stage, students brainstorm and discuss what they already know about the topic. This could include prior knowledge, experiences, or assumptions. By activating prior knowledge, students can make connections to new information and build a foundation for learning.
Want to Know: In this stage, students generate questions and express their curiosity about the topic. These questions can range from specific inquiries to broader themes or concepts they hope to explore further. Wanting to know encourages students to take ownership of their learning and directs their focus towards areas of interest.
Learned: In this stage, students reflect on and summarize what they have learned about the topic. This could include key facts, insights, or connections they have made during the learning process. By articulating their understanding, students consolidate their learning and gain a sense of accomplishment.
The KWL thinking routine is a versatile tool that can be adapted to various subjects and grade levels. It promotes active learning, critical thinking, and metacognition, empowering students to become more independent and engaged learners.
The reading comprehension activities revolve around Ken Wilson-Max, the author of ‘Astro Girl.’ The questions are designed for differentiation.

I Think: This section prompts students to interpret their observations and make inferences. It allows them to express their thoughts and opinions about what they see, encouraging deeper thinking and reflection on the content.
I Wonder: This final component invites curiosity and questions. Students can share what they are curious about or what they would like to learn more about. It fosters a sense of inquiry and encourages exploration beyond immediate observations.
