Stage 3:
Conclusion 10 mins If there is time, read a story to the students.
• Tuned students into the book by predicting what the book will be about, using the front cover
• Gave students the definition of the word “scrambled”
• Helped students locate words/sentences by giving them the page number (took on advice from yesterday)
• Brought students attention back to the grammar focus for the week (compound sentences)
• Read a few pages altogether
• Helped Heather point to the words so she was at the correct words
• Modelled how you wanted them to read
• You have really built up your strategies to help the children read words:
o Get them to try again
o Have them sound them out
o Giving them clues as to what sounds the letters are making “that is making an e sound”
▪ Your knowledge of phonics is good – you can tell the students what sound each digraph/trigraph is making (digraph-2 letters that make
one sound. Trigraph-3 letters that make one sound)
o Ask them to use the pictures
o Give clues such as “what do you do on a bike?”
o Get them to read a whole sentence again to help them make meaning from it
o With Izzy you sometimes sounded out the words for her, so she could just focus on blending the sounds
Suggestions for next time:
• Don’t forget you can comment on how they are reading and ask them to read again if they were too slow, too fast, not enough expression
