A rich picture of my teaching prior to making changes

A rich picture of my teaching prior to making changes:

• Explicit Planning- Selection of Texts

• Inference-Making Reading Engagement

• Peer support/ Small Group Activities (PALS)

• Buddy Reading(Jnr & Snr Class)

• Emphasis on timed reading exercises- Read Theory

• Gradual increase in Reading Durations

• KWL Chart Strategies

• More focus on character study

• Extended Discussion (Tried in Term 2 but I felt it was not working for my cohort)

In my planning process, I use a specific type of text format, like bullet points or a mind map, to clearly outline the steps and ensure a focus on the content.

Here's a snapshot from my Reading Plan.

Another successful strategy that I used in Term 2 was "Buddy Reading" - Tuakana Teina (Junior & Senior Classes). I will continue with this in Term 3 as well.
