On the homeward straight now with study and work. This last term has been hectic - mainly due to the length of weeks, extra travel and assignment due dates so close together.
Literacy Challenges paper was certainly much more relevant to the job. I chose to submit assignments on topics I wanted to find out more about or was interested in: vocabulary, phonological awareness and comprehension. Feel much more confident in talking about and advising in those areas now.
Came across an article from Australia about a teacher who implemented an intervention as part of a study using quarter books, interactive writing, P.A work, mastery learning of words - to lift levels of very low reader writers.
Am using the quarter book/ fluency words on one of my students with positive results (Yr 4 - has started with me on L6/7 and now up to L9). Have set it up for the classroom teacher as well and she is very pleased with results.
Getting him to write several sentences independently and working at L13/14 comfortably is our goal.
