My Reading Pathway

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

I am currently reading at yellow three.

I am working on the following:

• I can work out words. I can look across the word to look for letters and letter clusters I know.
• I can think about what would make sense and sound right.
• I can find the speech marks and make those bits sound like talking
• I can say what I think is happening and say what will happen next
• I can read without finger pointing

Teacher Voice: "Well done Kaydence, I know you find reading tricky sometimes but I love that you try and use strategies such as your growing letter sounds, clues from the pictures and thinking about what would make sense to work out what the words say. Keep working hard and using different strategies and you will continue moving through our reading pathway. I'm very proud of you!"- Miss H

Reading

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

Student voice: "I can get books from here. Books with pictures are good for me."

Kharmony 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.

Teacher comment: Kharmony was trying to write 14. We talked about how teen numbers start with one and she went on to correct this. Well done Kharmony on realising you made a mistake and then trying to fix it with your growth mindset! From Miss H
