Week 9 Intervention!

Reflection:
I needed to work out a better way of documenting the evidence and progress that the students are making, so this week, I have decided to trial organising all the video onto one Google Slide.
This looks tidier and I can watch the progression in order instead of going from one blog post to another.

Week 8 of intervention!

Target group

Reflection:
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!"

Week 6

Friday 29th of September

Reflection:
Students led this session on their own with very little teacher input. The students displayed confidence and active listening which enabled them to participate in the discussions that occurred during the session.

Week 5 trial

Monday 25th of September 

Reflection:
Still building the boys' confidence to speak and giving them a lot of reassurance.

Tuesday 26th of September 



Friday 29th of September
Reflection:
I allowed the boys to lead the session and interrupted as minimal as I could.
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.

Target student intervention 2: Intensive reading mileage and reinforcement!

One of my target students joined my class in Term 2 this year with limited English vocabulary and knowledge. 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 'Starfall' (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.
Student is now able to sound out most of the high frequency words without audio or support.
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.

Part one of intervention: Practise with audio book.

Part two of intervention: Practise with teacher.

Part three: Record reading independently using a digital platform.

Week 3

11th of September
Still quite students driven, but some students are more responding more.
Trailing a record of new vocabulary to ensure understanding of text and continue to guide and ask questions to encourage thinking about text.
