This year PES (Pt England School) has a school wide inquiry focus on formative practice in reading/writing to improve students achievement.
After meeting with Juanita Garden (AP at Pt England School) to discuss the challenges for my learners in reading and writing I decided to focus my inquiry on how to scaffold vocabulary development and word decoding skills for struggling reader? I choose this focus because I had noticed that my learners often struggle with the same word multiple times in and across text as well as struggling to decode unknown or tricky words.
Below is a presentation that outline the problem of my learners, my inquiry focus and the first steps I will take in my inquiry.
This is an exciting learning experience for me and if you have any advice I would love to hear it so please leave a comment.
Kia ora and welcome to my professional blog! My name is Clarelle Carruthers. I am a 3/4 teacher at Pt England school in Tamaki, Auckland. Thank you for following my journey.
Struggling readers wont have the same opportunity to have their vocabulary enriched simply because they read less, at a lower level. Could a rich 'reading to' programme help?
