There has been so much learning today and so much I would love to implement. I have decided I need to look at the PIllars of Practice and identify what I am going to focus on - constructing clear LI's and SC on my taskboard, guided reading exploring background knowledge (video) then adding students' prior knowledge linked to background knowledge and modelled reading aloud. on T-shaped Literacy slides.
The taskboards continue to be a great way to see models for the Teacher Workbook, especially LO's and Success criteria I need to refine in my own programme. The Prior Knowledge versus Background Knowledge helped me to clarify what I could do when the reader has little, inaccurate or no knowledge - going to initiative in my T-Shaped: Pests and Predators.
For my learners, I am going to be more specific in our modelling books -working on exploring Background Knowledge and making sure the taskboard reflects our learning. Finally, I am going to introduce paired and reading aloud on video followed up with introducing the students' rubric. I will give them a copy to reflect on my reading aloud and identify what I could work on - should be a great discussion.
I have created a team slide to share Skill Builders, Observing Readers, Rubrics and possible changes to our T-Shaped Literacy activities. I have put useful tasks and activities into our Shared Drive. I am looking forward to sharing my journey today and exploring what they find helpful for further additions to our slide.

ReplyDeleteIt is great to read about your thoughts of Day 4 of the RPI.
Yes, I too found the learning around background knowledge vs prior knowledge very interesting. It has made me realise just how important my questioning is and it has also made me really think and reconsider what things I might give them to read/watch to build their background knowledge before coming to their guided reading workshop.
Did you have time to introduce the Fluency Rubric? If so, I look forward to hearing how it went.
See you on Friday,

Kia ora Sharon, It was interesting to come into your reading session today and observe you recording one of your children while they were reading to you and then see what steps you were then going to go through to when you listened to the recording back to highlight the child's reading behaviours. This should give you a very detailed analysis of what he is doing and what his next steps are. The conversations that were happening during the reading were great and it was apparent that these were ongoing during your reading sessions as the child was familiar with discussing his reading behaviours and was open to hearing what he could do to improve. I will be interested to see your 'Kid's Speak' rubric when you have written this and to hear how the children go marking themselves on their reading behaviours.
ReplyDeleteWow Sharon! There are so many things that you are wanting to use and change. No wonder your head is spinning. It would be amazing to see the changes between what you used to do and what you are doing now. Could you add that to your blog perhaps?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great learning and blogging,
