Taking A Running Record 16.05.2017

Literacy Processing is how the brain works with the text to get a message (reading) or create a message (writing).

Reading recovery children will need to go through every level. 
Able - very able readers may move through the colours (i.e. may not spend long on each level)


The workshop leader suggests that the book going home is not a guided book; it should be a phrased, fluent book (even if from browsing book). The take home book should be enjoyable and not labour intensive.

Green level: teach chunking.... a much more effective strategy than sounding out.
Other strategies to teach: 
* Self-correct
* Notice errors
* Monitor or checking
* Search for information
* Find the information (e.g. look for a cue in picture and finding it)
* Use the information
* Self-correcting
* Cross checking

Taking running records:
* Text must have been seen and taught (guided text)
* Record on Marie Clay Running Record Sheet
* Include on form: the level, the colour, name, date
* Record must mimic the lines in the text (i.e. return at end of every line)
* NO prompting....i.e., no: try that again; look at the first sound etc
* Teach for no finger pointing beyond yellow
* If a child Appeals, make as A for appeal and then say "You try" (NOT sound it out etc)
* Personal nouns are counted as an error only once in story
* Watch for when a child makes no attempts to solve (eg AM at times)


Coding
 

If a child gets completely confused with a phrase...

After Running Record, make a comment on reading, e.g. fluent, well phrased, word for word, stilted, not observing punctuation etc.

Analysis of Errors and Self-Corrections 
Make comments about whether the child is using M, S or V when reading (even if making error).
Make comments about strategy (re-reading, self-correcting, noticing errors).
Make comments about what child was using in self-corrections (M, S, V)

My next steps: 
* Spend more time on book introductions.
* Slow things down...perhaps spend longer on each text, esp L14 and above.
* Be explicit that reading for phrasing and fluency is required. A teacher session may focus on shared reading with the children, showing/guiding phrasing and fluency.

Supporting Diverse Learners (RTLB Feedback and Support) April 2022

The Situation This year, our team has a group of diverse learners who we are working collaboratively to support.  We have access to Resource Teachers: Learning & Behaviour (RTLBs) assistance for this. Two RTLBs observed our lessons during term 1, and we also undertook student surveys with 16 students (half considered diverse, half not diverse). Their feedback is as follows. We are exploring how we might use a more UDL style of approach to support these, and indeed all of our students. Student Voice: Survey Results from whole cohort Student Voice: Survey Results for my  home group RTLB Observations Feedback From RTLBs and Team Discussion Some of the positives noted:  High level of teacher attention on appropriate rather than inappropriate behaviour  Students are scaffolded to complete tasks and reach success, at times with 'first, then'. Students have access and are encouraged to use a range of learning tools e.g. visual timetable, fidgets, wobble cushion Teachers...

Te Reo Term 2

Over the last fortnight, I have looked at how I can increase Te Reo in my practise.  I have done this by: * Making more use of Te Reo for instructions e.g. "Kia tere!";  "Homai te...(pene etc)"; "E noho."  * Using Te Reo more for greetings with students' whaanau and students themselves * Ensuring there are more Te Reo books in our class library shelf * Observing and utilising Sherilee's (weekly Te Reo teacher) examples, and checking my pronunciation with her  * Including more waiata in class e.g. Matariki waiata, Ka Kite waiata * Allowing for more output  opportunities e.g. practising our greeting during roll call * Ensuring we say the karakia every day I found information on providing students with ooportunities for input  and output informed my practice: http://hereoora.tki.org.nz/Teachers-notes/Teaching-te-reo-Maori-effectively and great resources for Te Reo Week 2-10 July here:  http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/what-we-do/events-a...
