Julie Reading Recovery Observation
Child begins by doing their "speedy reading" student chooses the book from a choice of books they know well.
Julie uses heaps of praise - I love using this to build confidence. So exciting to see this student visibly responding to the praise, sitting up straighter, looking proud, spurring on.

Running record
- 2nd time reading the book
- write page numbers down as you go so you can refer back easily. Will be particularly helpful for me as I would take longer to analyse a RR compared to an experienced teacher.
- go over running records with students. Not just a tool for teacher learning, very beneficial for students to see what they got stuck on, if they missed beginning sound/ending etc.
Sentence strips used - could be a good reinforcement for some of my lower readers. Maybe set up as a reading rotation next term, have story from the morning on a strip, chop it up and get them to reconstruct it (using writing books to help match?)
Magnetic letters - so excited about having these I will implement next term!! I have a spare whiteboard so I will use this. Child I observed used it to sort out different letters (d,p and q so similar letters) and a stop watch is used to time child (great incentive!) This could be something to try with my older students.
These are great reflections Vanessa! I love how you take advantage of all observations and reflect on how you can implement different things into your own practice. Speedy reading sounds cool, I noticed you did something similar with your children where they read their story from the previous day. How are magnetic letters going?
