We back and we're at it!
This year I have gained a great cohort of Year 7's who have joined our whanau to expand and improve on the many awesome students we have in our class.
This year I will be focusing on inquiring into my Reading practise, I have seen a need for expansion of vocabulary and answering inferencing questions. This term I have been reading Latini Ilaoa's inquiry from 2019 and having discussions with her around what to do. So far, I have found with my lower readers that they need mileage, different book and a different activity every day, most of the questions I have started with have been literal so they are able to see some success. I have used some inferential questions in the text which I have found has definitely 'stumped' them. I've noticed that I have been giving more wait time to my students as well.
What am I doing for vocabulary?
After most pages we share the 2 or 3 words we didn't know and we work together using multiple different strategies to solve these words. This is going really well and I hope to continue to build on this.
