Description
Please note this half day event is being held at Geraldton Grammar School.
WORKSHOP:
Part One: "SevenPlus" - An 8-10 week intervention
The starting point is SevenPlus, an Intervention carefully designed to address the needs of readers who are stuck at around a reading age of seven or who are progressing but only slowly. Decoding strategies, fluency and vocabulary are all attended to in a routine that ensures success and the rebuilding of confidence.
Resources:
- SevenPlus Teacher’s manual
- Access to the video clips of the routine so that you can go back and review.
Part Two: Transitioning from intervention back into classroom guided reading
The success or failure of any intervention is usually determined by what happens next. A modified SharpReading Stage 2 routine which helps transition learners back into a more mainstreamed guided reading routine is provided. This ensures that the newly found confidence and enthusiasm for reading is maintained and prepares students for Stage 3 - Comprehension Strategy Instruction.
Resources:
- Especially formatted Storybytes and Infobytes
- Access to the video clips of the routine so that you can go back and review
