Literacy Groups

During literacy groups the children rotate through a variety of activities. This week we have two groups practising their sight and spelling words. Two groups are working on their keyboard skills on the MacBooks. Two groups are organising groups of words according to their word families. For example, mop, pop, shop all belong to the op family. One group is sorting pictures to match their initial sound and the final group are playing sight word bingo. It takes a few days to rotate through all the activities. It is very important that the sight word children have their sight word book at school every day so they can be learning their words at home and school. The activities in literacy rotations are highly engaging and regularly changed to keep the student's interest high. The classroom can be quite noisy but mostly it is 'working noise'. Ms Taylor
