📘Reading Buddies With Room 3 📘

IALT: reflect on how I was building relationships, and strengthening reading skills with room 3.

As I have recently blogged about before, room 9 and room 3 have been collaboratively working as one for the past 2 days. By saying this I mean though we only have 15 minutes to find a buddy and read it depends the way you use those 15 minutes. Today I buddied up with a young male by the name of Boisi. Boisi and I read a book about a young man who lives with his single father and stays in a quiet house, but after his aunty, and 2 cousins staying over for 1 week everything changes. The house goes for spacey to squashed up, it goes from silent to noise, and Robbie which is the son has to wait in order to enter the bathroom! The aim of the 15 minutes we had was to read the book with the buddy, (3x max), ask them questions about the book, and give them the ability to answer questions related to the book! Myself and Boisi completed this task in the time frame given! But their was a few things we could work on next time. For example maybe bringing his read log next time in order for it to be signed proving he has read his book, in case of mixed up messages!

If I had the chance with Boisi to re-do this whole thing I would give him a reminder of bringing his reading log, and also making sure he's practicing reading in his spare time even without me! & also making sure he can understand and ask questions about things he wasn't sure about... :)

My next steps in reading with room 3, is to make sure there not afraid to ask about things they aren't very certain about... and also making sure they understand the content or text they are reading. Lastly, making sure they have the ability to read or explain the book in their own words.

Do you have any feedback or feedforward on this blog post?

Anyways, just feel free to drop by my comment section and leave some helpful advice, or comment for me to use next time!

Many Thanks! 💨

📚 Reading Buddies 📚

IALT: talk about the new thing I learnt which is that from 1.45pm to 2.00pm room 9 will be helping room 3 (tuakana teina buddy class) reading their books and understanding more.

After Zumba/Sport/Karaoke/Dance class at lunchtime today we went up to room 9, and they were surprisingly not their so we went for a look! We went to the hall, outside, but from a mile away I was able to hear "SIALE", and with hearing SIALE means hearing room 9, we went over and were able to spot room 9 in room 3. It was very unusual to me at first but after reading with our buddies, we were able to realise that everyday after lunchtime from the times 1.45pm, to 3.00pm room 9 will be reading with room 3 in order to help them understand more in the books that they read. For example who was the main character, the main purpose, and many more important things in reading.

As I walked in the room I wasn't sure if my buddy was here neither was my peer, and friend Akanesi, and as we searched for them they weren't... so our solution was we would help Miss Barlow. Our task from Ms Thompson was to glad wrap a bunch of stars made of paper, and foil in order to keep the foil (star decorations) sticking to the paper. We then had to tape up the foil, in order to keep it sticking on tightly, until the time its needed!

  

Tomorrow I hope to see my buddy and some learning done about the book he will be reading. Some exciting news is that we will be like our buddy's guardian at school with a reading log, and signatures of proof for reading.

Do you have advice, or thoughts on how you think I can improve on my buddy's reading?
