Learning Observed

During parts of our learning time, the learners are able to select certain activities to extend their capabilities in Reading, Writing and Maths. This is called the Daily 5 (Literacy) and the Daily 3 (Maths). Saniya chose to do some writing on a website called Storybird. She selected a set of pictures which she then arranged into a picture book. On each page she added text to make a story that had a beginning, middle and end with connected ideas. Saniya did this completely independently and was able to manage her time and effort, while remaining focused. She was active in seeking out feedback from a Learning Coach and acted on it to improve her writing.

Bariyah & Saniya's Learning Story - Reading to Someone/Listen to Reading

Learners: Bariyah & Saniya    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 18.2.16

Learning Area: iDevelop - Reading

Learning Observed

As part of our Reading programme in LH1, the learners have been learning about the parts of the Daily 5. This covers a range of activities to enhance capabilities in Literacy. Bariyah and Saniya were spending time reading to one another. This is one aspect of the Daily 5 where learners sit elbow to elbow and knee to knee in order to best communicate to one another. They took turns at reading and listening, following along with the text and pictures. Bariyah and Saniya selected their own books by practicing how to connect the parts of the ‘I Pick’ method - What is the purpose of this book? Is the book interesting? Can I understand/comprehend what is happening? Do I know all the words or are there some that are tricky?

Ask each other questions to develop curiosity e.g. What was your favourite part? Why do you think ______ happened? Summarise what happened at the beginning, middle and end of the text.
