Teaching+Reading

When teaching reading to early years learners we follow the literacy program. As teachers we use the following types of reading to share, teach and enhance childrens learning capabilities. We specifically look at; Modelled Reading: "In teacher read-aloud, the teacher models how to read by reading aloud to the class from a range of text type. The purpose is for children to engage with texts pitched at a more complex level than they can read."; Shared Reading: "Shared reading or share book experience is where enlarged books are used to explore the conventions of print and the reading process. It is usually a whole-group activity and, although i is led by the teacher, the children can participate in the reading in various ways, including choral reading and reading theatre."; Guided Reading: "Guided reading involves a teacher working with a group of 4 to 6 children reading individual copies of the same text."; and finally, Independent Reading: "The purpose of independent reading is to build fluency and motivation for reading. Children are encouraged to read texts at their independent reading level so that reading is practiced and fluency increased.The child is challenged to read on their own for a sustained period of time.".
