Reading with friends

Student	Bayley, Ella, and Sophie	Date	30 July 2008
Topic	Personal reading	Observer	Julie (teacher)

The intended learning is for Bayley to:

enjoy ‘reading’ picture books
work co-operatively with others
participate in routines at school.

Today, after lunch, Bayley demonstrated that he is aware of some of the routines at school. He came in and went to his schedule, with the help of his teacher aide. He then looked at the picture of reading in class, took it off and peered around to look at the reading corner where the children share books, showing that he understood where this activity takes place. He was then approached by two girls, Ella and Sophie, who wanted to read a book with him. They all made themselves comfortable and shared a couple of books with Bayley.

He was engaged in the books, following their instructions to look at the pages and sometimes turning pages himself. Occasionally, he lost focus, wanting to touch the girls’ hair, but they directed his attention back to the books with success. The book that held his attention for the longest time was his own book “I am Bayley”.

I’m glad you enjoying reading with your friends Bayley!
