00:00 - 00:02
I am going to speak today about Reading Project, which
00:03 - 00:05
I designed the school that I worked at last year.
00:06 - 00:08
I will begin by outlining the rationale behind our project.
00:08 - 00:10
On discuss the research we first looked up.
00:11 - 00:13
I will then explain how we develop the project and
00:13 - 00:14
then adapted during school closures.
00:15 - 00:17
Finally, I would discuss our project results on our reflections.
00:19 - 00:21
The Russian Alfa Our project came from meeting with myself
00:22 - 00:23
the epi on the head teacher.
00:24 - 00:25
The head teacher identified readings a priority.
00:27 - 00:29
We examined pupils tracking data and found the in year
00:29 - 00:32
for over a quarter of pupils were performing significantly below
00:33 - 00:33
age related expectations.
00:34 - 00:37
In reading, the school did have one toe on reading
00:38 - 00:38
interventions in place.
00:39 - 00:42
However, we recognize that this level of need we needed
00:42 - 00:42
toe work more systemically.
00:43 - 00:46
We needed to implement a larger scale, evidence based intervention
00:47 - 00:48
to support these struggling readers.
00:50 - 00:53
Myself and the EP have both watched dyslexia debate on.
00:54 - 00:57
We also believe that all struggling readers, regardless of reverence
00:57 - 01:00
they had a diagnosis of dyslexia, should have access to
01:00 - 01:00
a well founded intervention.
01:02 - 01:04
We were very inspired by listening to Jonathon Solid to
01:04 - 01:06
speak about his work on the theory of optimal instruction.
01:07 - 01:11
The theory Opto instruction argues that when teaching reading, we
01:11 - 01:13
want to teach pupils the smallest amount of reading skills
01:14 - 01:15
that have the highest utility.
01:16 - 01:18
As our pupils were already in year four, we felt
01:18 - 01:20
this may be the most appropriate intervention for them.
01:21 - 01:24
I therefore contact Jonathan salty myself to find out more
01:24 - 01:27
about the structure of teaching sessions so we could begin
01:27 - 01:28
designing our daily intervention.
01:30 - 01:32
We began our project by running whole school training to
01:33 - 01:35
enable all staff to support the needs of struggling readers.
01:36 - 01:38
Following this, a focus group of teachers and Tia's were
01:38 - 01:41
trained on the daily intervention and how together extensive baseline
01:42 - 01:45
data. I provided ongoing support and he should fidelity to
01:45 - 01:49
the intervention through providing ongoing training opportunities, learning walks on
01:49 - 01:53
pier supervision, our intervention for the same structure.
01:53 - 01:55
Each day I shown on this slide.
01:56 - 01:59
Peoples were first talk, high frequency words on then phonics
01:59 - 02:03
skills and then they applied these skills impaired reading a
02:03 - 02:03
record of pupils.
02:04 - 02:06
Progress was kept each day to ensure equal continually adjusting
02:07 - 02:12
the teaching in response to pupils learning, we held parent
02:12 - 02:15
workshops to empower parents support their child's reading at home
02:15 - 02:18
to improve home school partnerships and to listen to parents
02:18 - 02:20
voice from listening to parents at the workshops.
02:21 - 02:24
We designed further training for all parents on paired reading
02:26 - 02:27
during the summer term.
02:27 - 02:30
When the school was shut, the majority of pupils we
02:30 - 02:31
developed sessions to be delivered online.
02:32 - 02:35
Parents received online guidance as well about how they could
02:35 - 02:36
deliver the project at home.
02:37 - 02:40
We also recognize that during this period people needed to
02:40 - 02:42
be supported to become more independent learners.
02:43 - 02:46
I therefore examine the guidance report on how best to
02:46 - 02:49
support pupil to learn remotely to develop sessions to enable
02:49 - 02:52
pupils to plan, monitor and evaluate their own learning.
02:54 - 02:56
One way we did this was through, including structure reflections
02:57 - 02:59
within sessions as shown on this side.
03:00 - 03:03
Pupils first mark their progress using scaling on, then reflect
03:04 - 03:05
on which strategies had enabled them to improve.
03:06 - 03:09
We then gave people some feedback and encourage them to
03:09 - 03:10
think about what they could do.
03:10 - 03:10
Even better.
03:12 - 03:15
Despite the disruptions caused by school closures, pupils made excellent
03:16 - 03:19
progress. Pupils, made between six months to a year, is
03:19 - 03:20
progress for their reading.
03:20 - 03:23
Fluency on the slightest example of the progress born people
03:24 - 03:28
made pupils also reported really enjoying the sessions on.
03:28 - 03:30
Parents were delighted with the progress that their Children had
03:30 - 03:34
made. Upon reflecting on the project with the school and
03:34 - 03:36
thinking about how we could further improve it, we first
03:37 - 03:38
recognized that there was a group of pupils who have
03:38 - 03:40
not had the same access to the virtual sessions.
03:41 - 03:43
We therefore designed to catch up program for these pupils
03:44 - 03:45
once they return to school in September.
03:47 - 03:49
Secondly, the school are very concerned that pupils reading progress
03:50 - 03:52
may have been exacerbated due to the school closures.
03:53 - 03:55
We therefore decided to run the project across several year
03:56 - 03:58
groups and to extend it to another school in the
03:58 - 04:01
trust. We also wanted to support pupil to reading comprehension.
04:02 - 04:05
We therefore around reciprocal reading groups with pupils.
04:05 - 04:08
Once they could read fluently, we trained all staff on
04:08 - 04:11
reciprocal reading so they could include it within guided reading
04:11 - 04:16
sessions. Finally, the school raise concerns about parents own literacy
04:16 - 04:17
needs many of those parents.
04:18 - 04:19
The school also struggled, reading and writing.
04:20 - 04:21
I am therefore working for school.
04:22 - 04:24
The moment plan how we can best support parents literacy
04:25 - 04:27
needs both within the school to re sources within.
04:27 - 04:28
The resource is in the wider community.
04:30 - 04:33
I really enjoyed running this project and observing the impact
04:33 - 04:35
had on the pupils, their families and the staff of
04:35 - 04:35
the school.
04:36 - 04:39
I hope you enjoyed my presentation today on Thank you
04:39 - 04:39
for watching.
