Manaakalani Reading Practice Intensive - Session 1

I can see the next 3 terms being a fantastic journey into my reading professional development! So many inspirational take aways already, now to prioritise them and make it functional in Totara 1.

This quote about reading, eqity and outcomes particularly resonated with me as not all whanau see the value of reading for enjoyment.

A thought for discussion is taking back to my class - "Makes a good reader?" What do they see as someone who is a good reader. Ask them to complete a reading profile about themselves. I really liked the idea from Panmure Bridge and turning the data we collect into a Statistics task. This ties in nicely with the statistics unit we are doing within our class at present. Sharing the video clip shown  about readers and what they enjoy about it.

I need to think about how we can use these in our class. Create a display behind the  Maybe even using emoji’s instead of numbers to help.  Initially start with 2 key questions.  For some learners I could potentially use laminated sheets or cut these out and use within groups modelling books

Many inspirational take aways from today.  Time to sit back, reflect and prioritise my where to from here?  How am I going to inspire Totara 1 to see themselves as readers............
