Coming to the end of RPI it was interesting to redo the Reader Survey. It seems that overall there has been a small shift in the students' enjoyment of reading at school and also their enjoyment of reading in their own time. There was also a small change in the time that they enjoyed reading. in term one the most common time they enjoyed reading was at school, in term 3 there were more students who enjoyed reading at home, particularly before falling asleep. It would be interesting to find out more about what has changed for them and why they enjoy reading at home more. Are they finding books that they are enjoying and therefore what to be reading at home more or is there something about reading at school that is discouraging?
A highlight from the survey was that one student's response was that to be. a good reader you needed 'fluent thinking, a good vocabulary and imagination.' When I asked them what they meant by fluent thinking they described reading aloud fluently. It was great to see this response because these are skills we have been teaching.
