Literacy in S4/S5 term 3

Literacy

This Term S4 & S5 have combined children for Literacy and have grouped children depending on their learning needs working on a fortnightly rotation.  Children read in S5 and go to S4 for writing for 2 weeks.  The following fortnight they read in S4 and go to S5 for writing.  This follows the move in education to 'Future Focused Education' in 'Modern Learning Environments'.  Click the following link if you are interested in finding out more about this.

Daily Five ReadingWe started our reading by reviewing Daily Five and how to choose "Good Fit Books" - as you can see this book is not a good fit - it is too hard and the reader can't understand what it is about.  
"Good Fit" books need to be a suitable level and a topic of interest to the reader.





This book is also not a good fit - it is far too easy!
