After our last PLG we were asked to describe and explain the changes of tweaks that we have made in our practice along the way. This blog post will outline some of the tweaks and changes that I have made.
Individual Questions
This has been working well, by giving this to the students while they have been reading is good as it gives them plenty of time. It is also starting to open up conversations as a group and less teacher directed.
Specific Questions
This has also been really beneficial and I have stared to add different types of questions into our guided reading sessions as well as follow up tasks.
Inferencing
By having practice with the images and key into inference the students have more exposure and are showing a lot more confidence in answering these questions.
Novel Study
I have had a lot of buy in from the students and they are excited to read a book for the fact that they can complete a task about it. Interestingly enough the classroom next to mine is using this as well and they absolutely love it!
Next steps
I will continue to implement these changes to my practice and monitor some of the things that are working and some parts of this that might need continued change throughout the rest of this term and into term 4.
