What a year 2020 has been! It has been one of many exciting changes and challenges in my teaching practice.
Reading PD
I have benefited hugely from the reading PD that we have had as a school. It has given me a clearer understanding of how to help those in my class who are reading between the levels of 6.5 and 7.5. I have found recording notes after each session for each individual learner to be extremely helpful with how I plan for the next session.
I am really looking forward to continuing on with this next year and using these prompts in my reading sessions.
Word Work
For the last part of this term I have continued to focus on the word work aspect for these learners. Not only have they loved completing this activities I have noticed a difference in their ability to find these words and use them when we read harder texts. This is something that I will continue to develop and work on next year.
Next steps
I am really looking forward to the new opportunities that I will be taking on next year. I am going to continue to work on and develop all of the things I have worked on this year and strengthen them in my teaching practice.
