One of the ways of starting working (retelling the text).

When I worked with pupils of the 11^th form, I was faced with the serious problem. I realized that some of them had difficulty comprehending text, and many pupils were unable to retell the stories which they had read or listened to.

It is necessary to help pupils to develop better retelling strategies. As the matter of fact, practice will improve their ability to increase their level of language development, comprehension and to think critically. The retelling the story is the necessary part of studying because it helps pupils to become better readers by teaching them how to construct meaning and infer from texts.

First of all, teacher should determine which pupils need help learning how to retell stories which

they have just read. It can be done with the help of such activity. Teacher should give the text for reading. Then she notes the pupils’ responses and records her observations of their behavior while they read the story. For example, the teacher records whether pupils are able to make sense of the text while reading or if they are reading slowly word-by-word with little expression.

Once pedagogue has this information, she feels better able to plan effective lessons to meet the needs of each pupil in her class. In order for pupils to retell a story, teacher needs to help them how to organize their thoughts and integrate personal knowledge into the retelling. It is obvious that while asking pupils literal questions we can admire that they have value. But questions that need yes or no responses often limit pupils to recalling only fragments of information. Teacher should first observe and then talk with them as they engage in specific retelling activities. She should create various activities in which pupils can demonstrate their ability to retell. The pedagogue may ask them to read and retell the story to her. She can ask the pupils two or three

comprehension questions before they begin retelling. While the students are retelling, teacher notes their use of vocabulary, ability to make inferences.

I think that the best way of starting retelling is to use step by step activity which can make this process more easily and effective. But each teacher has her own strategy of it and can have many other ideas to solve this problem.
