This morning I went in and observed a reading lesson focusing on teacher/student discussion and modelling books.
Things that I noted:
-teacher sets expectations and task so that she can monitor the other groups
-teacher then discusses the task and what the children have come up with
- turned to the first page and the children interpreted the picture information first before read.
-during the reading time teacher would bring the group back to unknown words and focus on strategies that others were using. She was using positive praise to reinforce it. This then lead on to the children trying it with out the teacher prompting.
-they then discussed the content on the page and making inferences and connections to help them make better understanding
-at the end of the lesson the teacher had pre-written questions that they were focusing on. It had different elements e.g. words they would have seen and questions about the text. The questions varied in level e.g. surface level questions to inferential questions
From this observation what I would like to try is the layout. So we read the book and discuss throughout first then have the modelling after to support the things they had learned throughout the reading session.
