Reading groups in action

I had someone take photos of reading groups in action this week. We're very busy during reading groups so it's been difficult to record us working. But we have worked really hard and you can see us below. We read with Mrs Taylor or a parent, work with words (playing sight word memory, phonics and sight word board games and make words such as rhyming words), are beginning to work on simple comprehension strategies (making predictions, making connections, visualising, summarising using who, what, where, when and why or identifying the beginning, middle and end of the story), technology (iPad sight word and phonics games/listening to stories) and practicing our writing (using pictures or sentence starters). We rotate through activities in the mornings during our literacy groups on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Wednesday and Thursday have been shorter days this term because of our weekly assembly and SISA sport. Next term we won't have SISA on Thursday so will be able to have a normal reading session on that day.
