Day 4 RPI Small Group Reading

Setting up a task board for Week 9 Using small groups to investigate texts. How often would I do this with my classes? Depends on how much time I have with each class and the difficulty of the text. Scenario - We all go to the library every week on Thrurday to issue out a book about our topic. One week it was on climate change, the other week it was what makes things bubble and recently we are looking at Matariki. Observing at first some students were taking out books related to the topic or word about the topic but had no idea how to decode the words in the book. This week because all the students have some prior knowledge about Matariki they are more than happy to read their books over and over without any reservations. Some things noted on the slide was SL/Words Spend longer on preparation if it is a new topic and students have not much knowledge on the topic. Vocabulary teach new words, repetitively but in a variety of ways Why we are learning this is a good reminder. Pick up some vocabulary Watch video and then write out-use different mediums for structured reading. At the end of the day, each class has different levels of reading and understanding so we need to cater to the needs of our learners/readers individually, paired up, groups and the whole class. Thanks Kiri for the Catch up on Sesson 4. He pai te iti ki te kore. It is a reminder to value any progress, no matter how small, as it is always a step forward from zero.
