My update for Quarter 1 of 2024
Posted by Nelly Kubyana on 20 March 2024, 21:30 SAST
My name is Nelly Kubyana
I am the Teacher Assistant at Bathokwa Primary school.
1. In Quarter 1, we completed the following activities of the spell2read2write programme
- ORF The Big Red Apple
- Spelling Test
- Alphabets
- Consonants and vowels
- Video sound and songs
2. The highlight for the Quarter was:
Most students can recognize most letters and sounds.
They can construct two- or three-letter words and pronounce them.
They demonstrate that they can read level 1 library books.
3. The challenges I found were;
Three students are unable to distinguish or grasp letters and sounds. They exhibit no curiosity and no willingness to try.
4. In the next coming quarter I will be focusing on;
I'll be concentrating on reading out and blending two or three letter sounds in the upcoming quarter. Consonant (T) + vowel (A) = at
Vowel (A) + consonant (T) + consonant (C) = cat.
Put reading books to bed with comprehension. To help in narrating a narrative or giving an exam in front of the class, emphasize speaking in English and help them become familiar with some new vocabulary.
