Ready for a strategy you can try tomorrow (or today)? It's "Wait Time"!
π After you ask a question or give a direction, pause for 5-10 seconds before repeating or helping.
This is a simple way to build in a time delay (an evidence-based practice) and reduce over-prompting so learners have the opportunity to process and respond!
β
Try it during instruction and routines:
β’ βLine upβ ... wait 5-10 seconds
β’ Point to the visualβ¦wait
β’ If needed, support with the next level of prompt needed after the pause
π Save this post for tomorrow morning and give it a try! Comment βI tried it!β and share what you noticed!
