*Fluency Partners*
Are you pairing students to practice their fluency?
Fluency reading is paired reading of decodable readers, complemented by word lists aligned with your phonics sequence.

The word lists can include real and nonsense words, and all sounds should have been explicitly taught.

Students read up and down the list, reading the words straight away if they know the word, or sounding out if they don't (e.g. b-e-d, bed). Their partner helps them if they get stuck on a word.

We've been using these blank word strips - students write their words (up to ten words) on the strip and are paired with a fluency partner (e.g another student at the same level of decoding). Fluency partners should have the same animal, so they can find each other quickly (you could assign one animal per ability grouping).

Fluency reading normally lasts about 10 minutes per day; 4 mins each child + transition time.

The word strips come in Year 1 & 2 lines, with different choices of animals for each set of lines. Lots of cute animals! 🐭🐰🐨

*The Emu in the Sky*
Our students loved learning about the Emu in the Sky, reading the Dreaming story, and colouring in their own 'Emu in the Sky wristbands.
We love learning about the importance of the sky to Aboriginal Australians - the first astronomers on Earth 🌏

You're either on holidays or nearly there and we are doing a happy dance for you 💃 🕺 👯
On the holidays, it's time to really enjoy SLEEP!
Sleep without wake-up alarms, sleep without mental to-do lists, sleep without worrying about THAT child or THAT lesson.
Grab your best pillow, your most comfortable PJs, and your best nighttime sleep meditation, and really rejuvenate and recharge through good sleep.
