Jigsaw Reading for Young Learners - A Way to Enhance Cooperation

Jigsaw Reading for young learners? Is it possible?
Of course it is. Only, the teacher needs to prepare more, and needs energy along the activity to control and give support to the students.






First we divide a reading text into some parts, in accordance with the number of students in the group. Then we post all the parts on the wall, one is a distant away from the other.
We divide the students in groups and assign numbers within the group (or they choose who wants to be number 1, 2, etc.
Then each is assigned to read one part of the reading (on the wall), and return to the group to retell what he/she has read in turn. Then, after everyone get his/her part, another group task can be or should be assigned to assess the reading gist.
