In this chapter, BBR wrote about strategies to aid students' independent learning. They detail how crucial this skill is in their future and I could not agree more. If our students want to go and be successful in college, they will certainly have to learn a lot of material independently. They will have to hone their study skills for tests as well.
The strategy that I believe would be most effective in aiding their independent learning, is PLAE. PLAE is preplan, list, activate, and evaluate. I like this strategy because it enables students in all three phases of the reading process. It also is so simple that we could use it without even knowing. BBR details how students must continually ask questions to better their understanding. That aspect is also befitting of the Common Core Standards. I like how the questioning is present in each aspect of the PLAE, too. The questioning is what drives our learning, and what drives us to do what we do. The PLAE model helps with studying because it makes students ask "What is most important?" If they can answer that with a mini-discussion in their heads, they certainly understand the material.
