When scaffolding is used for reading, you could preview the text and discuss key vocabulary, or chunk the text and read and discuss as you go. Scaffolding is breaking up the learning into chunks, then providing a tool. The supportive strategies are gradually removed when they are no longer needed and the teacher shifts more responsibility over to the student. According to the Glossary of Education Reform (2014), "Scaffolding refers to a variety of instructional techniques used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and, ultimately, greater independence in the learning process." When teachers use scaffolding, they provide successive levels of support that help students to reach higher levels of comprehension that they would not have been able to achieve without help. ![]()
