Teacher Only Day - Reading

This was a great course to look at what you have been doing or forgot to incorporate into your class.  

Here are a few images of ideas that really resonated with me and remind me of some good ideas.

Great idea to develop word knowledge.

I like this simple idea about the reading process.

Reminder about all the different comprehension strategies. Some need to be left for when they are older.

You need to be able to have a balanced reading program.  The idea of I do, We do and You do is a great and a simple way of looking at it.

These prompts would be great to support the discussion around what the students have been reading to help support them to develop the skills required to lead a group discussion and build on each others ideas around the reading topic.

Really like shared reading and how it opens up students to a wide rang of texts that they wouldn't read.  I also like how this is the place to teach strategies and when they come to the guided reading that is where they have the chance to practise them.

These last 2 ideas are around independent activities for after reading.  It is important to allow students to return to the text to help them deepen their ideas.

 Super pleased to have got this finished.  I know the students are going to love having a go with this and incorporating it into their learning.

Wanaga 2021 Notes

 Learner needs a purpose for reading.  They need to have an effective reading experience.  Knowing what you are learning to do and knowing what you need to do when reading.

Examples of some teachers examples.

Text Sets

Unified understanding so we need to show the students can learn from one text to another.  Couple of examples.

You don't plan for high order you won't get to it.  Purposeful about open ended questioning. It needs to be planned for.

Extended discussion is different from questioning.  It goes around the children not involving the teacher.

Students are invited to discuss and as the teacher you are letting them do the talking.

Students need to learn about how to have a discussion.

Useful slide to explain ideas.

Some examples about critical literacy.  Sharing ideas will help the group develop their understanding about what they are reading.

Transfer strategies have high effect size on students learning.

Transferring vocab knowledge.

Students believe that the errors that they make are helping to develop their understanding.

Just a reminder about some of the programs that students/teachers are using.

Awesome slide to share characteristics of capable visible learners.  Students need to know what they are doing and make adjustments to their learning.  This will allow them to learn. Students need to know when they need help and what they need to do when they need help.
