MONITORING AND EVALUATION
Over the last week or two we have had numerous visitors in school to look at our provision for reading. Whilst it is hard to be observed and critiqued on our practice it is also so vitally important to aim high and improve our work with your children- who deserve the best teachers!
The feedback from our visitors has been phenomenal. In fact that was the word used to describe our focus on the curriculum over the past year. Regarding phonics, we were told our teaching was excellent, pupils were moving on quickly with their learning and grasping routines well.
Master readers is our new guided reading program and there were observations in years 5 and 6. The pupils were praised for their high levels of engagement and we were complimented on how far we have come with this project in such a short time.
Reading continues to be an area for development at Abbeys and as well as improving our teaching we need your help!
- Look after reading books that we send home from school- they're so expensive you will be charged for lost or damaged books.
- Read with your child daily and record this in their planner.
- Login to Oxford reading buddy or the E-book library and share books online and complete the mini-quizzes.
- Visit the library [open after-school on a Wednesday]
- Read the 50 books to read before you leave Abbeys Primary.
