CSA Year 1 Tomas reading "before and after" August 2010

This is Tomas, a Year 1 boy, he was video taped reading and then

followed after 15 days to see his progress after working specifically in

blending for automatic recall gaining fluency.

He was asigned a reading buddy to help him develop the necessary skills, this

reading buddy took him out for regular 10 minutes one to one reading sessions for two weeks.

The results are really very good!

WORKING PHONICS INTERNATIONAL WITH YEAR 6 CSA 

Last Friday August 13th, I worked with Year 6 on Phonics. We worked on the "wa" spelling for the /wo" sound.

Here you can see them working on the sound activity sheets of Phonics International. They are working in groups reading words with the spelling "wa" as in water, wasp, swatch, and finding meanings in the dictionaries.

After doing the sound activity sheets, they read the "I can read" texts, spotted all the words with the sound /wo/ and then answered the questions on the text.
