“Inquiry is a stance. It’s a way of professional being, it’s not a thing. We don’t ‘do’ inquiry. We’re just always asking ourselves and seeking for the evidence that we are making enough of a difference.”
Reading Inquiry - Aksel
Throughout the year I have tried many variations in my teaching to move Aksel on. I initially focused on building his phonics knowledge and then building his recognition of sight words however he could recognize most of the early words in set 1. Running records showed he noticed errors and was able to reread and he can make self corrections. However as he has progressed he has become stuck at green. I have struggled to effectively progress Aksel. His processing can be slow and he lacked fluency, I worked on fluency and motivation through the use of plays. Aksel is reading level 9-11 texts with lovely fluency and often on the second read his fluency is astonishing.
For this inquiry I have been lucky enough to work closely with Kate Roundtree the Resource Teacher of Literacy as the student I am inquiring into has received Reading Recovery and has not made the progress expected. I have had a hunch that there is a puzzle piece missing and if I could just figure out what piece it is then things might fall into place for Aksel. This has not been easy for me to pinpoint.
