As part of my inquiry this year, I’ve started by gathering student voice through a Reader Profile Survey. This was something that we did last year for RPI and is something that I have decided to do again this year as well as get my team to try and do in their classes. From this survey in term 1 here are some key findings:
A number of students reported that they don’t read very often outside of school. This is something I’ll need to consider when thinking about how to support reading mileage and reading habits beyond the classroom.
Confidence levels are mixed. Some students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and participating in discussions, but others are still very quiet and hesitant. This lines up with what I’ve been seeing during group reading time, where a few confident students carry the conversation while others hang back.
Talking about reading isn’t yet the norm. The data suggests that many students aren’t regularly discussing what they read, either in class or at home. Encouraging these conversations will be a key part of my focus this term.
