RPI Day 4 - Small Group Instruction

 Today's session gave me quite a few takeaways to try and a lot to ponder. The first idea I'm going to try is to get one-to-one time with each student, get them reading a text and really observing/listening to their fluency. Initially I think I'll record them either via audio or video, just to catch everything and note it down. 

It was mentioned that the LTR-WWW recording sheet, which is quite similar to how Running Records were recorded, is a brilliant way to make notes on each student's reading aloud. Going through the samples my students recorded and rating them using this rubric made total sense. Definitely happy with this. On an important note, the "Boredometer" sparked my interest, as I'm quite fond of poking fun at myself with my learners. The last important takeaway was to make sure I entrench using different apps so as to make my job easier looking forward.
