WHEN I was doing voluntary teaching in my post Dawn years, I tried an experiment with the children in The Garage School. I would encourage them to read the text from their book and then after they had understood it thoroughly, to perform a little play based on what they had read in their textbook. I found that it worked very well. The children would understand whatever they had read because if they could not read the text carefully and understand it, they would not have been able to come up with a play on it.
