 RPI - Day 4: Guided Reading

I have been really looking forward to today's session on guided reading, to check that I am following best practices in my own programme.

To start the day we were shown the Guided Reading Model, which I have not seen before. I appreciate the structure that the model gives, and how the learning we experienced today followed around the steps involved. 

In terms of my own learning, I need a skills session on Google Sheets! I intend to get on to this tomorrow as I need to keep up with the tasks assigned to us, filling in the workbook, without struggling with the technology. So that is my goal before the next RPI day, to upskill myself and complete all that is meant to be completed in my workbook. 

I got a lot out of today's session, but my biggest takeaways are:

1. The Guided Reading model and of course all the information to accompany this.

2. Observations. Access to the varied observation templates available, especially the fluency rubric. Fabulous.

3. Teaching blocks (5 minute blocks) Did I get that right?? That will be a big change in approach for me.

4. The Skill Builder session as well as the Consolidation and Independent follow-up - access to these recourses makes my day :) There are some very clever teachers out there, who I am very grateful to for sharing resources. 


Thank you, ladies. I found this very worthwhile.

    Thank you for your valued contributions today in our breakout. It’s great to hear that you had been really looking forward to the sessions on guided reading! I agree that the Fountas and Pinnell Guided Reading framework is really useful to dive into and I particularly like their coverage of the elements with teacher prompts.

    On the subject of Google sheets, I am happy to set up a 1:1 session online, if that would work for you? We could go through some of the core input into the Google sheets for the Teacher Workbook, and cover any skills you really just want targeted support with. Do let me know and we can set up a time online.
    Really pleased that you appreciated the resourcing around observing learners reading and the consolidation tasks like the Response-to-Text. I totally agree that we are so fortunate in the Manaiakalani Network to have teachers who share their amazing pedagogy and resources!

    Looking forward to hearing how things go with the practice implementation.
