RPI. Post Day 5 : Planning a reading program

There are a lot of factors to consider about timetabling and fitting everything in. Today was certainly aspirational and an opportunity to see what others ideas are and what could be possible. 

I would like to think more deeply about using an overall curriculum tracker like the example here as it is potentially simpler and more effective than what we do. 

We are doing well with our learner tracking doc. However,  the work done in books may not be well reflected in the tracking doc, which means things in two different places.

 I still think our visibility to learners and parents could be better (incl rewindability) through schooltalk so will revisit how I link my digital slides into schooltalk so they can more easily see across a week. 

I also want to have something that makes it clearer to learners what they need to have completed by the end of each week. I do what the expectations are by the end of each day well, but could be clearer about the bigger picture, especially for learners looking at their work with parents at home, which more of our parents want.

I need to work out how to better spend more explicit time with my target learners (they are mostly on the same table). At the moment, I spend time with them while others are doing the same task independently. (This is what we were encouraged to do on the SL PLD. Have target and extn learners close by to scaffold and extend in the moment.). Sometimes this is not enough time though, or too disjointed.

Definitely will utilise the Epic and Readworks better, for text searching and questions. Need to work out how to track completion of these activities though.

We work the idea of reading like writers and writing like readers , and integration, into our lessons very well.

We use SL in our spelling (Code) and targets have an intervention group for 20 mins per 4 days, but I need to increase morphology and etymology into spelling and vocab building better.
