The aim of this Directed Task is to build a rich picture of the reading experiences, behaviours and competences of your two focus children working at age-related expectations and your focus child with SEND, so that this knowledge informs your focus children’s progress meetings (week 4) and begins to inform your planning for those individuals, groups or the whole class for the final weeks of your placement.
In the document below are four steps for you to follow, you can also watch the video below to support you in understanding the expectations. Some of these require you to make your own observations of the focus children, while others require you to engage in reading with the children yourself. At these times, it would be useful to arrange for someone to observe this process in order to make detailed notes and to share in discussion afterwards. For most students this will be your placement partner or other student in the school. If you are the only student in a school you should ask another adult if they might be willing to do this for you.
