The Thinking Moves A-Z is a brilliant practical vocabulary for metacognition.
To help students apply the Thinking Moves, I created From Thought to Talk. For each Move, it provides ten or more talk prompts / sentence stems.
The prompts give students confidence to join in, help them express their thinking, enable more powerful, articulate speech, and expand vocabulary. They are suitable for learners of all ages from reading age up (with simpler prompts at the beginning of each list).
Display these for daily use, for example on the wall or on prompt cards.
