This year I am teaching 23 keen, enthusiastic and positive students, ready to embark on their next learning journey. After 5 weeks in the classroom we are into a good routine, the students have learnt about the 'Kawa of Care' and are able to adhere to it. The classroom environment is positive and the students are fantastic.
For 10 weeks over Term 1 and 2, my in-class inquiry will be focusing on phonemic awareness for a small target group. Improved phonemic awareness should enable these students to become skilled readers, spellers and writers.
I will use PM Reading Level, STAR results and the Joy Allcock Psuedoword Test to assess the success of the structured phonics program I will be using. The focus will be on blends, short vowels, long vowels, vowel diagraphs.
