NBSS resources
The National Behaviour Support Service (NBSS) is an agency of the
Department of Education that works with teachers in second level schools to
support them in dealing with students who have challenging behaviour. One
part of their approach is to devise effective pedagogical strategies that can
help engage students in their learning. They include:
Comprehension and learning strategies
To achieve at second level students need a repertoire of learning, thinking and study strategies that they can apply across all subjects. This resource outlines research-based comprehension, learning and thinking strategies that can be integrated into all subject areas. Posters are also available from the NBSS designed to supplement the teaching of the strategies outlined in this resource and are intended as a visual reference for students of the key comprehension and learning strategies they need.
Language and literacy games – Teacher resource
This resource has a range of language and literacy games
Literacy and learning – Programmes and resources
This resource gives an overview of commercially available programmes and resources that teachers have used successfully to support the development of reading, learning and literacy skills.

The strategies can be used alongside whatever texts the students are working on. Each strategy should be used with some relevant text.
