Action Planning and Testing Ideas Then Implementing Ideas Term 1 Weeks 5 -10

My Inquiry Question:

Will having a Structured Literacy focus in Instructional Reading , handwrtitng and Writing time help assist our learners with high learning needs show growth in attitiude, engagment, and data results.

SOOOOO...... My start...

New Planning-

Mixing YS, Sunshine and Helen Walls.This covers my WHOLE term of planning. A massive undertaking but hopefully in the long run creates a more effective way of reflecting and working through the weekly expectations

 

Reading:

As per previous post it was importatnt to me to have my planning very structured and organised so it all matched the levels of learning that I had place children (using OTJ in first few weeks). 

Using my new learning from Emma Nahnana I created a bookmark for my learners for books and eventually Ipads to show the consise process of learning.

Now it was moving forward - gaining assessment. By refelcting on 2022, resrching , talking to RtLit I have used LLLL to create a Reading Record Document to start the year with SL .  However, after researching into the provider (Sunshine) they have invested time and devlopement into screening tests, phoincs assessment, ARA and comprehenion.

Screening Tests – quickly screen students to place them at the correct stage of the Sunshine Decodables series. 

Phonics Assessment – comprehensive tests to assess students’ understanding of new phonemes and graphemes, ability to segment and blend decodable words and to read tricky words.

Assessment of Reading Accuracy – unseen texts to assess students’ reading accuracy.

Comprehension Assessment – questions on the unseen texts.

As part of my Inquiry I am really happy to use these tools A: to save time B:be able to trail new things for our school and maybe provide some more options for teachers in the future.

My results are as follows

Term 1 Reading Results

It was quite ...astounding..refreshing ....Im not sure what to make from these results. It diffenatly means I was on the right path though with knowing our learners enough to take a risk in setting up a class room programme more tailored for them.

With Meryns help we are flying through our challenges and strugges with the Ipads. Things have been smoothed out and I am now creating projects and tasks for the tamariki to do that shows there learning. Slide decks are my focus in Term 1- that real celebration of work - to engage our parents. 

I have shared these with my other team memeber and I hope we can cointue this shared collabrative plan.  Reporting will be done using this tecnique and I have created Slide decks below that use our new writing programmes Stages (again these have been shared with my team member and she can edit as suits her) I want the children to write an self assessment of their journey in all areas.

 

Reading Reporting Ideas-

 

 All this leads to our New Digital Reporting for Term 2 and 4 (along with Goal ticking)...something I have been working on...  

 Term 2 I want to restart my Reading comprehnsion activites online.This will be focusing on the Sunshine Decoaables S and S, alongside comprehsion activities.

For fluencey and enagement I have started recording Set 2 of S.D available on the website and will try and make more as I have the time. 

Sunshine online does have alot of activites online for create tasks however not specific to SD soo... this could also be my focus.

Writing- New Programme

A complete different review and way of writing. Again changes in grouping and assessing aswell as delivery. Children have been grouped at the end of the the term.

I have been blessed to have little titbits from other professionals - here is some more RtLit notes and learning around Writing.
