Reflective thoughts - Read Theory
READ THEORY
This is a new Digital Initiative that I have been trialing in my class over the past 2 weeks. Initially I implemented it with my capable readers and then introduced to the whole class. They LOVE it! It is very engaging as they get to earn points and compete against each other while improving their reading comprehension strategies. Each child is able to monitor their progress independently and using this information can then develop their own personal reading comprehension goals. As a classroom teacher this programme also gives me a comprehensive amount of information around each students understanding, especially in the areas of inferencing, text knowledge and language understanding. I can see very quickly where gaps are to use as focus teaching points and look at individual tests and answers to see if there are common trends (i.e. understanding of questions)
