Rethinking my practice
My team leader shared her folder with me from a recent workshop from the Auckland literacy Expo for teachers which involved exploring the writer in the reading and the reader in the writing.
The Effective literacy practice in years 5-8 have undertaken studies that show that teachers who have a firm grasp of the reciprocal relationship between writing and reading and who continually make explicit connections to their students between reading and writing are the teachers whom exemplify 'best Practice'.
In Room three during big book, poem and guided reading we continually consider grapho-phonic sources of information when both reading and writing. We are also looking to locate the different types of punctuation and how these change our understanding of a text.
We also look at features in writing such as "describers" and how these help the reader to get an image in their head of the characters etc. Here we are looking at our poem for the week and finding the describers that the author has used.
