Dante

Dante has joined Group 1 for 2 weeks now and has seems to have a much greater confidence at reading time.  His fluency has improved but I am aware that his daily readers are a lot easier as he has dropped back into Level 10-12 books with Carter and Connor.  The goal of getting Dante to improve his fluency seems to have helped, so I think I will take him back up gradually over the next few weeks.

Carter is Away in Australia all week..

No progress update.  Concerns he will forget the work done previously.

What am I doing differently?

At last PLC Sharyn prompted me to think outside the square - what am I doing and what can I do.

Blogging improved

Reading Doctor in happening in GR sessions

Contacted RD to ask for advice/support

Building on your knowledge

Nikki our RTLB went to Australia to meet the Reading Doctor creator and so she would be a great person to tap into.  She has also used it with her own son.

I wonder if you could access the creator and see what advice he could give us?

Great start CL.

Building Fluency by modelling - Video of Connor and Dante Reading

Planning for My 3 Target kids...Week 5

I have prepared the iPads and planned to go through the Reading Programme every day at Reading time and then I will get the teacher aid to read with the children.  This week I have selected an easier text (Level 10) and also included Dante in that group as his fluency and confidence has dropped hugely.  I will see what 2 weeks of this will do to his fluency..
