Where we are up to in Week 4

After our meeting on Wednesday, we've agreed that we are all up to obtaining data from students that will act as our 'pre-project' data.

Each of us has done some reading & have found a real emphasis on spoken language, modeling and conversation as being essential components of successful reading /literacy programs. Reading seems to be an area of interest for some of us, (particularly focussing on the strugglers) & we discussed the need to encourage and model good language & vocabulary in the infants grades especially. We also talked about using our projects to help in suggesting strategies and activities in Reading Groups throughout the school.

Next week will be a time to 'really get into it'!
