Direct Instruction
The learning intention for this lesson was for children to be encouraged to participate in extended discussion around a story they have read.
The video shows a new focus group reading on Orange, level 15- 16.
Each child's individual efforts are praised and they are made to feel worthwhile for an attempt.
Reflection
On reflection I am aware that although these children are reading on Orange level 15, they all have well developed vocabularies. My aim was to encourage each child to participate in answering comprehension questions from the story they had read.
Things to note
Remember to ask a range of inferential questions and ask the child to retell the main ideas of the story. Use an experience that a child can relate to as part of the DOS (introduction) of the story.
