Exposure to different texts at different times

On constant reflection of my intervention I have observed changes in the quality of discussion from my students. In group discussions the students are taking more leadership and ownership of their discussions. There is also the encouragement and positive praise for the effort of other group members.

We  have been doing stock takes of our learning and have identified the shift in the texts we read and when we are exposed to reading texts. Today we as a class reflected on our journey in reading so far. We reflected on the daily opportunities for us to read during:

• Current events reading
• Novel reading
• SSR 
• Guided reading
• Inquiry learning 
• Reading at home

With the variety of opportunities the students have to read, it is building on their confidence in reading and also showing in their responses to texts and discussions.
