27 March for Day 3:Text Selection
The day included selecting appropriate texts, texts for groups, text sets and the wider reading programme (read aloud, shared, guided, and independent reading). I have children liking comics, and chapter book and currently, we are intergrating for independent reading.
The power of digital world. Seen the difference of print and digital tools- what are the tools available.
Text selection
In order to promote enjoyment and active reading, it is important for the learners to be involved in selecting the books. These books will need to reflect themselves, a text that will open the outside world- "Books are window"
Gropuing the learners
I am using homogenous groups based on PAT, observation, age and running record. There are times where I mixed groups. I need to do this more to boost learning and bring diverse knowledge and perhaps more learning.
Selecting texts for groups
Important to mix fiction, non- ficition, books revealing author's purpose
Extending Vocabulary
Need to target tier 2 words, While reading use both vocabular and key words and this is possible with selecting and providing good text coverage. Using symbols, texts, icon, language also allows more coverage. Providing multimodal text. How I will track text coverage in my class. In this seasons, we were given the opportuinty to search some books using journal surf. Also by I need to fill in 3 weeks of txt for my target group.
Beautiful connection and journey of knowing my learners to Teacher choosing the main text to themes, complementary text, scaffolding and challenging text and inculding learner selected text.
Summarizing
It is important to give prompt when you are reader to listener to think about as you reading.
We have seen a case study where a teacher used summarizing skills. Ask how does good reading sounds like? Also how the teacher stiking out the repeated information given in order to take thinkin beyond the book.
Very interesting session.
Many thanks and Kind regards
