It has been a full on year with learning the new BSLA teaching for me. My focus for the year has been definitely on improving my knowledge and delivery of all the components of this programme.
It has been encouraging to see the gains made by students in having a better way to decode and problem-solve when reading texts. It has also been great to see the building o f comprehension and oral language when discussing the reading to text, which is a focus for a week. I had inititally thought that continuing to discuss a text for the week would possibly take away from the joy of reading, but this has not been the case. Children are enthusiastic about the conversations they have and by the end of the week the more reluctant speakers are feeling more confident to contribute.
I look forward to contuing to build by knoweldge and practice next year.
