Time Who/what
Notes
T.N gets everything
organised for SuperSpies
novel group
Uses Ministry recourse
sheets to formulate
questions into modelling
books.
- Call the group
over to the table.
m - Whilst the rest of the class
are doing their rotations
T.N works with group
- Monitors classroom noise
level, asking for quiet
when necessary
- Recaps previous chapter
asking key questions
“What happened in the
chapter”
“Why” “Who”
m - Students read in a
round robin
- The rest of the
group follow along
with their eyes
- T.N guides
students through
this process
allowing for a
slight pause
before helping
student decode
certain words.
- Other students
also help.
Reflection
- Organisation is a key Ask T.N more about M
aspect of being able to resources
support the reading Where to find them
groups
- A possible way to make
this smoother for myself Have a discussion about p
would be to have follow up resources for this
everything prepped the as the other groups have t
night before instead of
doing this during brain
food time.
- Sitting at the desk and
making sure the students
are all in sight means that
T.N could have a full view
of everything taking place
in the classroom.
- Keeping the noise level
down allows for students
to be able to focus whilst
still participating and
contributing to the literacy
group/game the are in.
- Round robins help to
develop ideas
- Could try time to repeat
reading as students
sound very neutral and
lack expression. This
would also help with
fluency and
comprehension as well as
be more engaging for
students.
- Guiding students through
the process is a good way
to keep students reading
and make them feel
supported through this
process.
- Other students helping
builds connections within
the class and focuses on
the school values
(Manaakitanga)
- At the end of the chapter - Recalling events is a key
T.N asks the group part of comprehension
questions using the and retaining information
prepared modelling book within the novel.
- She writes the answers to - Using the ministry
these questions down resources for this novel
- A whole group discussion allows for the questions to
be targeted, not broad,
meaning students are
more likely to succeed
and feel accomplishment.
- For myself I would add
more questions that are
varied that have a larger
range of comprehension
depth. However students
are enjoying the literacy
routine so this would need
to be slowly introduced.
