Day 3 - Reading Practice Intensive

What? (The Concrete Experience) This Week s Blog I am reflecting on what I learnt about reading groups identified from their reading age level, interests and age. There were a number of ideas that go with text and critical thinking. I also learnt that there is a vast amount of resources available for implementing into Reading Programmes. We also heard that it is important to have a teacher to help readers who need extra help rather than having reading apps available. Summarizing a text through script and what students actually thought when reading over text. These are some of the gems I will take back with me to school. So What? (The Significance) Why is all this important for my learners? If I look back to the beginning of this Course and the results from my students it was an eye opener so if we continue to do the same things over and over how do we expect any change? Through Manaaiakalani Reading Practice Intensive course it enables me to learn the tools that can be implemented in to Science Lessons and Classes not just with the class I am supposed to be working with but with as many classes as I can. Just recently we had a ToD where our science Departmet looked at the Science Thinking with Evidence Results and analysed which areas of Nature of Science was High, Middle and Low. If we could work on where students strengths were then they would improve and for those who are at a benchmark different texts, skills, ideas, resources could be implemented now. It is great to have supportive staff who also agree that we need to improve the literacy and numeracy in our curriculum area. Now What? (The Action Plan) The three things I will implement into my classes this week are More shared Reading from different sources Text, Visual, Audio Analysing the text and Summarizing Thank you Presenters Ngā mihi
