A huge drive in our Reading Programme this year has been the implementation of RPI resources and Ideas into our teaching and learning. Being the mentor teacher for our 2 teachers in the RPI programme has helped with the consistency of running it.
Here are some snapshots of some of the RPI learning by the mentee teachers and we have implemented in our teaching for the term. These were also some of the favourites for our students:
- Vocabulary activities to help with decoding words
- Word Consciousness activities
- One Shot Film - a unique way of promoting the book you are reading.
- Figurative Language in our Writing to make our writing more effective and appealing to the readers. To also help with painting a visual image in the readers minds.
Upon discussion with my team, we have decided to dedicate at least a week each next term to what has been covered in RPI. Some of those ideas are:
- Great Beginnings Writing
- Figurative Language
- One Shot Film
- Creating visual representation of the book we read
- Levels of Thinking - Literal, Interpretive & Evaluative
- Word Associations
