I have 5 children in my focus group, 3 boys and 2 girls.
At the beginning of this school year, students E and B were in Room 18, and later in Term 1, students E, R, and F joined us.
Students K and B are bold and willing to try, whereas E, R, and F are reserved, timid, and insecure. Student F is soft-spoken and appears anxious while asking a question, and students R and E have had poor attendance the past however attendance over the past two terms has been consistent
My struggles:
The students in this group struggle to maintain the learning we have been doing in class and this is evident in both reading and writing.
Writing
We write as a whole class and the majority of my students need assistance. We have gone back to writing a simple sentence which is often a dictated text supported by a visual image.
We have to do our literacy warm daily:
- Say the letter name, and letter sound and we also do the sign language for these letters.
- Vowels including short and long vowels, blends and middle sounds
- Add a new blend or middle sound weekly.
Follow-up tasks support our learning, these include:
- Explain Everything activities on iPad, modelling book and slides
- Letter names, words, blends, and middle sounds, this depends on the focus.
- Whiteboards and paper to write words for eg food, tool, park, cat, shop, cheese etc.
- Flashcards
Modelling Book
