One of the main changes we made to our Reading Programme in Team Tui, was the introduction of Taskboards. The benefits of taskboards include:
- Key Elements that support Reading as Core to Learning
- Instruction and learning is linked, clear and explicit learning intentions
- Guided Teacher time and independent time to grow good readers (e.g left to right Monday 'Must-Do's' includes a Reader Interest Survey and 'Activity for Choosing a Good Fit Book'; weekly choice board; and Guided Reading time with the teacher twice a week
- Learners are also developing their discussion skills about topics related to their reading (and for a cross-curriculum task linked to the reading of graphs in LCS/Inquiry).
- Teacher Notes also include achievement data for each student. This allows teachers to track the students progress throughout the year. It also has a tab that allows us to reflect on and also have a list of learning intentions we could pick from throughout the year.
