PEER OBSERVATION NOTES

Since I found teaching beginning reading challenging, I asked my colleague and Grade ___
English teacher, Mrs. Ashley Guinoo, for a peer observation.

On the agreed date, she modeled explicit teaching on the beginning /s/ sound. She prepared
various learning materials. When she showed the video, the children really enjoyed rapping.
Similarly, the chant on words with initial /s/ sound really caught their attention and they
even sang it too. I particularly found the guessing game to be effective for the kids. They
were really excited to guess the object inside the box.

In guided practice, she allowed the learners to work in small group to help the learners
overcome their anxiety in reading words with /s/ sound. In her evaluation, she used
worksheets where the kids can draw objects with the initial /s/ sound.

After, we had collegial discussion. She told me that instruction should consider the interests
of the learners. Activities which integrated games, songs, and drawings are generally
engaging to the kids.
