My Reading Pathway

I am pointing to where I am on the room 17 reading pathway.

I am currently reading at red.

I am working on the following:

• I know the sounds in the word.
• I know the letter sounds and some word endings.
• I can take a breath at a full stop and find the speech marks and question marks.
• I can read quickly, and make it sound like talking.
• I can keep looking at the words all the way to the end.
• I am starting to notice if I say the wrong word and I know to re-read the sentence.

Teacher Voice: "Pheonix you are beginning to identify fast words in your book which is helping you with your reading. We are working on making sure that we are pointing to each word and if the word that you read doesn't match the one you say we need to re-read the sentence. I love how you are excited to find out what happens next in a book!" - Miss H

Reading

I am learning to pick books that are a good fit for me in the library.

Student voice: "These books are too hard for me. I don't get books here."

Pheonix is developing a love for books while reading with a friend in the library.

Numeracy strand: Fractions

We are learning to split numbers in half (1/2)

I know I am successful when the number is the same (equal) on each side.

Year 1 Cross Country

Writing

I am learning to write a sentence.

I am successful because I have used spaces and used a sound that I know for each word.

This was completed in room 22 last week. Pheonix wanted to write about going to the Zoo. 

Mrs Coom asked Pheonix to close his eyes and try to remember what the word looked like which he was able to do. 

We are going to explore the idea of visual knowledge with Pheonix going forward.

Topic: Habitat

We are learning to make a habitat for a compost worm. 

On our field trip we learned to importance of food, shelter, water and stopping sunlight from going into our compost worms habitats.

Logan and Pheonix are turning over soil looking for earthworms.

Pheonix and Nathan are scoping dirt to grow grass seeds in.

Pheonix is squeezing all the extra water off his newspaper. This will be a home for his tiger worms.

Reading

I am learning to find words that I know before I start reading.

Scanning the page for these words helps us to self correct our reading

Pheonix: I know the word 'like'.

Writing

We are learning to write words that we find in our reading books.
