Read on Twitter
Quite often my TA pre-reads our WCR text (bar class novel) with a few chn, but on Friday she wasn't in. I didn't have time to do it with said chn so had to think on my feet. What I tried instead was running my text through Chat GPT & asking it to (sorry too big for one tweet)
Asking it to rewrite it for a struggling reader. First two pics attached are the text we tackled as a whole class, the third pic is what it produced for me. I asked these three chn to independently read that text when they came in and then had a quick chat to them about it and...
got them to summarise it to me and ask me any qs about stuff they were unsure about. Then in the WCR lesson they tackled the harder text with everyone else. This was defo easier for them because they had already read a simpler text that imparted the same knowledge to them so
more effort that would have gone into comprehending meaning could be shifted into decoding and reading it fluently, plus they had a better shot at understanding new vocabulary because they understood what it was surrounding. I'm going to try and do this a lot more I think.
Also they read more than everyone else, which they need to do, because they are still learning to read and comprehend fluently.
Also all three paid more attention than me as they rightly informed me that the queen is no longer with us
