I am having a difficult time reducing the amount of teacher talk in my lessons. The students have difficulty with reading comprehension so I feel as if I need to explain everything to them. A few of them can work well with a partner but many have limited social skills which make collaborating with a peer challenging. I would love some suggestions as to how I can incorporate more independent and cooperative learning in my lessons so that I do not hate the sound of my own voice at the end of the day. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Implement technology in your daily curriculum. There's a reason the internet was invented as it plays a role of presenting information in the most aesthetically manner. There has to be a read aloud or short play that relates to what you're reading to your students. You can then apply fun activities online if applicable.
