Last week I went to Cobden school to observe some of their fantastic ideas for teaching reading and writing.
I came back inspired from my trip and decided that our class could give it a go. The tamariki have been learning a lot of independent literacy based activities. This allows me to pluck out groups for guided reading and writing. The children are happy, engaged and working independently and I am able to work with my reading and writing groups.
Every time we read a new story the tamariki get to paint a picture about it - later on in the week they write a story about their painting.
We practice handwriting on our white boards - we are getting really good at this!
We choose our favourite book and do a book review. Our emergent writers and readers copy pictures and words for their book. Our tuakana record the title, illustration and author. Then they write whether or not they enjoyed their book.
The children are engaged through out their twenty minute activity.
I am able to work on quality reading and writing
Mahitahi in action!
Working together is fantastic!
