So what are the next steps for my Inquiry?

 In my last message I noted that there would be a significant impact on my teaching practice in regards to what I taught, when I taught and how I taught. On the balance of evidence collated and on reflection of what was being taught, I needed to introduce a few activities in my daily timetable. Some old and some new.

I will address this issue through explicit instruction. With the old activities I just need to consistently use them during reading time. The Gwyneth Phillips prompts will draw the children's attention and make them more aware of the language they need to be using. ie "You said.......what would you expect to see for.........."  focusing on oral language at the end of a reading the text ie (conversations with the group/comprehension questions about the text), word families, magnetic letters that can be manipulated and the good old whiteboard and whiteboard marker/for the writing out of words, especially HFW . In the mornings before school starts at 9am this time can be utilised and I can introduce alphabet sounds by way of alphabet cards.
