This course identifies and provides strategies for teaching the crucial concepts that children need to learn in the early stages of reading, from directionality through to working on unknown words in context.
It identifies the three main sources of information that good readers use to read: Meaning, Language Structure and Phonics, and provides training on how to support these three areas in simple, practical ways.
Participants will be taught how to take a Running Record. This is a simple assessment that can be taken on any text. They are a quick and efficient way of gathering information about a child’s reading and is particularly useful for children who struggle with reading, providing valuable information about the strategies a child uses/ignores. Once gaps have been identified they can be addressed in order to support the child’s reading development.
Participants will:
- have a clear understanding of the building blocks that need to be taught in order for children to develop into good readers
- be able to take and analyse a Running Record in order to identify key strengths and weaknesses of readers
- be able to use a range of simple strategies to support children in addressing any specific gaps
