Philipstown Primary School

Update on the Spell2read2write program Q1, 2024

My name is SISIPHO PAPASHE I am the Teacher Assistant at PHILIPSTOWN PRIMARY SCHOOL .This is my update for Quarter 1 of 2024

In Quarter 1, we completed the following activities of the spell2read2write program,

I identified the 15 Priority learners in grade 4 and worked with them doing spelling and reading.

I did the "ORAL READING FLUENCY TEST" with them they were reading about "The Big Red Apple" and counting the number of words they read in a minute.

I did the videos with them, which taught them about the vowels and consonants.

We did the Alison courses, which were really interesting and inspiring.

4. The highlight for the quarter was

Being able to work with the Priority learners because they need time, attention and patience.

Doing the Alison Courses.

Learning how to post our reports on the ABA website by ourselves.

5. The challenges I found were

Some of the priority learners are struggling with reading and spelling.

Not having a projector or computers for when we have to listen/watch the videos. It's a struggle to use a cellphone.

6. In the next quarter, I will be focusing on working hard with the priority learners for them to be able to spell.

Doing more reading so they'll be able to read a lot of words in that specific time set.
