20:10:10 PrimaryEnglish @TinyAcorns @claire_olivia @Sarah_L_Vickery agree withthat - such an efficient teaching method #ukedchat

20:10:20 mattkearney1402

@claire_olivia most of my experience has been 1:1, whilevolunteering at schools, can appreciate difficulty in largergroups #ukedchat

20:10:38 ShaunRenton

#ukedchat I focus my guided reads on the few pupils notmaking good progress. Rest work through reading activitiesthey have a choice of

20:10:43 Stjohnscoventry#ukedchat GR great when used together with phonics, reading

for pleasure and don't forget working with Parents.

@Sarah_L_Vickery @claire_olivia #ukedchat if you use GReffectively you shouldn't need to hear children read 1:1 aswell each week

20:11:35 Sarah_L_Vickery

@TinyAcorns yes, I think when they have reading skills toprac.In EYFS find 1:1 best approach when starting out.#ukedchat

20:11:43 PrimaryEnglish

@ShaunRenton do the other children get a chance to readwith you? If nothing else some high value teacher:pupil time#ukedchat

20:12:04 ukedchat@Sarah_L_Vickery Polite reminder, please use #ukedchatand not @ - Thank you

20:12:36 PrimaryEnglish#ukedchat - So what are successful strategies for keepingchildren on tasks during the independent activities?

20:12:59 TinyAcorns

@Sarah_L_Vickery Agree that it's not always aprop for verybeginner readers but it can be used with that age groupsometimes #ukedchat

20:13:21 ukedchatWhat (if at all) does Guided Reading look like in your school?Primary or secondary...? #ukedchat

@PrimaryEnglish yes all children get a GR each week but 1

group has more focus and I do 1:1 but never all 29 in a week#ukedchat

20:15:01 mrlockyer

#ukedchat Also worth reading 'Teach like a champion' for theguided reading chapter alone! Random order, random amount,intense analysis

20:15:14 mattkearney1402@Stjohnscoventry I agree...parents are a key component, andcan communicate specific needs to the teacher #ukedchat

20:15:16 StephenConnor7The children lead it - ask questions, talk about characters, giveopinions...I listen, take notes, interject if needed #ukedchat

20:16:50 davidhunter

#ukedchat common method employed seems like an efficientway to teach most subjects, however reinforces chn'sunderstanding of their ability

20:16:52 PrimaryEnglish@mrlockyer @joga5 that sounds good. What about theindependent groups - do they have roles too? #ukedchat

20:28:04 CarrotyCarrots I believe Guided Reading is a time saving strategy. All childrenwould gain more from 1:1 esp in EYFS #ukedchat

20:28:06 HeyMissSmith#ukedchat @StephenConnor7 The main thing is to pick highquality texts that you, as the teacher, know inside out.
