T- Shaped literacy PD

 T- Shaped Literacy
We want wide literacy programs at school. 

Reading to- teacher to class

Shared reading - above the level that they know

Buddy reading - with someone in the class

Independent reading- SSR

Text sets- layer them on top of each other.

We want to:

Build vocab

maintain decoding 

local inference

maintain focus on big ideas

Teach for independence

Use a simpler text

Complimentary text

competing texts

How could this work in the junior school. 

What are the themes of these books be- look for the big idea in the books. 

What do the books teach us as a set that they didn't when they were alone?

Use the NZC to find the provocation.  

When linking to prior knowledge think about the theme. 

Come to the new text armed with thinking. 

Introduce the book by saying this is the book about and link it to the theme of the book.
