<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Over these last two terms, the students have overtime become more active in participating in the guided reading sessions. They now actively takes part in their learning through asking questions and sharing their ideas with each other. They make inquiries into what we are learning about. They have become more focused and engaged with the discussions. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">hey are continuing to develop and use Reading strategies that are modelled for them during the sessions to develop deeper understanding of the text so that they can begin to extend their thinking beyond the text.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is evident in my recordings of the Guided Reading sessions, my students' results and also in the students' self reflection.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Below is a recording of my students' self reflection:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The students were asked the following reflective questions:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do you think Reciprocal Reading has helped you to become a better reader?</span></li>

<u>Reflection:</u><br />
Second week back in Term 4, students were a bit unsure of what to say...More prompting from me this week, however, the students were engaged in the text and slowly started participating more. Emphasis on "All ideas are good ideas!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108347960415313523.post-15848687348198777892017-10-20T18:11:00.000-07:002017-10-23T18:32:45.338-07:00Mindset for achievement!Been hearing a lot about growth mindset recently and author Carol Dweck, so I decided to find out more...
Read an interesting article on <a href="https://www.mindsetworks.com/science/">fixed and growth mindsets</a>.<br />
This article talked about how students' attitudes can greatly influence their achievements in learning.<br />
Then it led onto talking about how to go about changing mindsets for success.<br />
Our teaching practice in the classroom affects our students greatly.<br />
One of the emphasis to change mindsets talked about the impact of praise and feedback.<br />
It also talked about the impact of teacher mindset, which I find very interesting. In the 2012 study, they found that educators who had fixed mindsets used 'comfort-oriented' feedback for the students (feedback that didn't encourage the students to challenge themselves) this correlated with low motivation and of the students having low expectation of themselves, thus not achieving well academically.<br />
<br />

<li>How can I change my own fixed mindset?</li>
<li>How can I change my students' fixed mindset?</li>

The boys were very focused and they know how to use each card and are all becoming more confident in contributing to each part of the story to develop their understanding.<br />

<u><b>Reflection:</b></u><br />
The boys' confidence seems to be increasing and more engagement as more are participating in discussions of the text.<br />
I will trial using School Journals next week as the length of the e-books and the vocabulary in the audio books at this stage seems to be challenging for the boys so discussions continue for a long time. Also, I'd like to try and vary my resources so that the boys can be exposed to both digital and non-digital texts.<br />
<b><u>Hypothesis</u></b>:<br />
I predict that using the School Journals will help the boys put the stories into context and support them to participate more during our guided reading sessions.<br />

He is able to communicate orally with others, however, reading and writing skills/ knowledge is very minimal. I needed an intervention to help my student to read and write so after my first conference with the child's mum in Term 2, we started practising high frequency words every day at home and I also introduced '<a href="http://www.starfall.com/" target="_blank">Starfall</a>' (audio book website) to my student as initially he wasn't able to sound out any of the words independently. We started with the 'Learn to read' section and then this term we moved from the 'Learn to read' section to 'I'm reading' section as I wanted my student to feel some success that we are moving forward and making improvements in our reading.<br />
Student is now able to sound out most of the high frequency words without audio or support.<br />
I will continue to monitor closely the students' responses during Reciprocal Reading sessions and will test student again in the last week of the term.<br />

A friend suggested to me over the weekend that perhaps the boys could have a shared glossary of new vocabulary that they come across as we read together.<br />

As explained on <a href="http://esolonline.tki.org.nz/ESOL-Online/Teacher-needs/Pedagogy/ESOL-teaching-strategies/Oral-language/Teaching-approaches-and-strategies/Reading/Co-operative-reading-Reciprocal-teaching" target="_blank">TKI ESOL online</a>.<br />

My prediction is that these strategies will help my students to become more confident in sharing their ideas and ask questions that develops their understanding, which will in turn improve their ability to make connections and inferences with what they have read.<br />

I didn't film this session because I wanted the boys to feel comfortable about asking any questions that they may have about Reciprocal Reading.<br />
The session went well and I hope that this session has helped them to feel more confident in sharing their ideas next week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108347960415313523.post-24024406126458803502017-09-14T15:22:00.000-07:002017-09-15T15:50:18.932-07:00How do I guide, facilitate an engaging reading session?<b>Reflection of week 3 trial:</b><br />
Students are still unfamiliar with using the prompt cards...<br />
<u>Reflective questions:</u><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Are the prompt cards too difficult to follow/ understand?</li>
<li>Have I given enough examples?</li>
<li>Am I talking too much? Is that why the students are not talking?</li>
<li>Is there too much peer pressure within the grouping? Do students get along with each other? Are they likely to communicate with each other?</li>
<li>Are there any other obstacles?</li>
</ol>
<div>
<i><b>Where to next...</b></i></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Take a step back and more scaffolding of prompt cards and strategies are needed for students to gain the confidence to take risks in asking questions in order to develop their critical thinking skills.</li>
<li>Teacher modelling of each prompt card before, during and after a reading session. </li>
<li>Teacher to engage students through questioning, strange example, contextualise learning so that students can make connections with text.</li>
<li>Use a range of teaching resources, not limiting to online e-books. For example, school journals as most texts are culturally appealing and sensitive for the boys in my class.</li>
</ul>

Continuing to encourage students to contribute and lead with their prompt cards.<br />
Using e-books from <i>Get Epic</i> is really engaging as it has illustrations or photos for students to discuss.<br />
I have noticed that this group is still very teacher directed, but a few of the students are displaying more and more confidence in sharing their ideas during reciprocal reading.<br />
I have asked the students to set up a Glossary to record down vocabulary that they are unsure of...this hopefully increases the students' bank of words and increases their understanding of text.

<br />
Reflection:<br />
Students are beginning to share more, however a lot of teacher modelling and teacher prompting is still needed. Have one student and teacher leading discussion at the moment and a lot of prompting (to be expected). A lot of scaffolding of vocabulary and teacher modelling of questioning techniques needed, but students are feeling more confident sharing their ideas.<br />

A couple of the boys were starting to feel more confident in asking the group the question on their card. A lot of unfamiliarity with the use of the cards.<br />

This was inspired by my senior teacher who is running a Teaching Inquiry into Learning Talk.<br />
I realised that my students were talking however, they weren't developing their understanding because it wasn't contextualised and there were very little in-depth thinking involved.<br />
So I questioned myself and thought, how can I make sure that the boys were engaged and involved using the learning context.<br />
This led me to my trial of Reciprocal teaching as I have not run this before.<br />
I introduced Reciprocal Reading to my target group and will be running this every day for the rest of this term.<br />
Will be reassessing students' reading age using running records every two weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108347960415313523.post-75087417922736082062017-08-21T21:05:00.000-07:002017-08-21T21:05:11.660-07:00Developing understanding of Reciprocal reading!Using Reciprocal reading as a guided reading strategy, I will be running it as part of my reading rotation.<br />
Using the Reciprocal reading cards, they are guided by the questions and I am there to guide them as students go through the process.<br />
Using the Reciprocal reading process will help students to develop their understanding and knowledge, also building their confidence to share their ideas and knowledge with others.<br />
This process will hopefully allow more student autonomy and drive students to start thinking critically by asking questions about what they read.<br />
The students will be guided using the Reciprocal reading cards: Predicting, Questioning, Clarifying, Summarising.<br />

My students talk, however, they are not discussing the content of what they are reading and is often misled in another direction, away from the topic. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Reflection:</div>
<div>
What do I need to do to refocus my students to enable them to have in-depth discussions and develop their understanding and knowledge?</div>
<div>
Will my students be able to understand and contribute to discussions if they understood the contents better?</div>
<div>
What about reciprocal teaching? If I ran reciprocal reading in my class with my reading groups and support my students to really understand the context, would this aid their critical thinking and 'get the wheels turning'? </div>
<div>
From reading and studying the articles below on reciprocal reading, it is my strong belief that my students are not able to think critically and make connections with what they are reading due to their <i>understanding of the content</i>.</div>
<div>
