Interventions

 So far, I have accomplished these interventions: 

• Met/ collaborated with my SLT, i.e, our school principal, to assist me regarding my inquiry research question. 

• Met/ collaborated with Ms Naicker (colleague and CoL teacher) regarding my inquiry question and discussed the insights. 

• In Week 5 of the first Term, I was given 8 lower Year 5 learners, so my class became a composite class of Year 4/ 5. This disrupted my teaching and learning as I had to restructure my planning, teaching, seating arrangements and a whole lot of other things. 

• Collecting baseline data. Term 1, 2025, assessments are over, and I have successfully analysed the results. For my inquiry, I have chosen 8 learners, 4 from Year 4 and 4 from Year 5, whose progress I will monitor this academic year.

• Created a Google Questionnaire Form to understand and know my learners better.

• I ordered various National Library books to expose my learners and other learners in our school to a variety of texts, mainly our term-related school-wide inquiry or topic-related books. This will enrich and enhance their learning experience, support their cognitive and emotional development, and lay the foundation for a lifelong appreciation of literature and learning.

• Continue to encourage students to do well in their reading. 

• Continued Group reading sessions. 

• Enrolled/registered my class learners to some wonderful reading sites such as Read Along, Read Theory and Epic.

• Also collaborated with one of our schools' Reading Recovery teachers, who took a few learners out of class to assist with reading.

I am still working on these interventions: 

• Working with our SLT to get a few of my learners to join the Lexia programme. 

• Record my reading lesson to observe my learners and myself.

• Continue seeing my 4 reading groups at least 2-3 times a week.
