Configuration of a word


Catering for our visual learners, by showing the configuration of a word

sm blends activity

 The idea of configuration of a word works in conjunction with sound boxes, this U Tube clip shows how we can teach learners to part a sound. Or segment a word. This is supporting visual learners see the shape of the words and break up the consonants and vowels. Planning on extending our sound boxes to looking at word configuration.  Thinking outside the square now... Outside chalk writing to look at word shape and using cars to hook in our boys to park our sounds.  Looking forward to trying this my new learners group of 1 magenta, 1 Red, 10 blue and 5 Green readers.

We unpacked writing samples to notice what is happening to their child. At Whānau day learners shared their writing success and ne

My story this year...

My openness to facing the challenge of reducing barriers in reading. As part of my community of learning Teaching  inquiry goal I’ve been looking into what are the barriers in reading and identify what we can do to overcome these barriers. I work in an innovative learning environment, in a hub with 86 learners and 4 teachers. 12 of the learners have been below national standards in reading. This has allowed me to work intensely with learners who are below their chronological age group throughout the year.

We are a 1:1 Ipad hub, so students have the opportunity to become digitally literate and drive their learning. I’ve created rich tasks that specifically work on decoding, phonological awareness and comprehension depending o
