CoL Inquiry: tools/measures/approaches

After looking at my data and having guided reading sessions with this group I have come up with a number of tools, measures and approaches that I will use with this group. 

Manaiakalani CoL Achievement Challenge: 
Lift the achievement in Reading for all students, with a particular focus on boys and Māori students (both genders) years 1-13. 

This is what I have identified in my classroom for this year as the challenge or area that needs to be focused on for my learners. 

Testing:
I will be using a range of different measures in order to track my learners and their progress throughout they year. I will look at:

  • PAT Star
  • PAT Comprehension
  • Running Records
  • ARBS 
  • Guided reading notes
These measures will be used throughout the year in order to check where students are and see if they are making progress and what other areas they require progress.

Approaches:
At the end of last term I was updating my MIT reading site that I created in 2019 as part of the MIT program and I found a new passion to get this back up in running in the classroom. This is perfect for this group of learners as it is aimed at their reading level. I want to try and incorporate this in my guided reading session for the rest of the term as an extra recourse. From what I have seen so far my students love completing the activity where they record themselves reading and share it on their blog. I will later add these to my recorded stories section where others will be able to listen to them reading their stories.


Data: 
I am continuing to look through the data I have collected and look at each individual learner and what they are requiring. From my guided reading sessions this week I can see that vocabulary is a major part of what we are needing to focus on. I am in the process of finding key words that my students are unfamiliar with and creating a spelling list each week for them to take home and learn.
