A Guide to Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA)

Directed Reading Thinking Activity is a great way to encourage students to become more proficient readers. The DRTA is a reading activity that assigns a short story, poem, or essay to students and then gives them specific instructions on how to read it.

The goal of the DRTA is to help students develop their critical thinking skills while reading. By having them complete the activity, they will be able to analyze the text, identify themes and topics, and develop their own interpretations.

There are a few things that you will need to ensure the success of the DRTA. First, make sure that the story, poem, or essay that you choose is appropriate for your students. Second, make sure that you provide enough instructions so that students can complete the task successfully. Finally, be sure to provide feedback so that students can learn from their mistakes.
