Organizing our presentation

Wednesday 24th October
Today we met to refine our projects and findings for our presentation. We have all been working on the theme of differentiation but using a wide variety of activites. My Year 6 students have been working on an intensive reading program that introduces the complex vocabulary that will be required in Year 7. It is based on specific phonic knowledge and encourages them to continually increase their scores in a simialr motivational style to DIBELS.The improvement has been amazing and they are beginning to see themselves that they can now read a wider range of words. Their confidence has grown and they now take home their word lists to practice in order to get a better score.The program is designed for Stage 3&4 students and runs for 5-10 weeks depending on need.
Many other programs were discussed as we have all tackled differentiation in a variety of ways. Lots of success stories which is great to hear.
