Reading Challenge



For the past few days for reading we had to work collaboratively as a group to complete the task. First, our teacher told us nothing, instead of saying anything she wrote what she needed to say on her laptop, from there we worked as a group to figure out what to do. We first had to read a big book as a group and write what happened in the story in exact 25 words. Our next task was to fill in the blanks for these 2 other stories, the first one we got was slightly easy but the second one was slightly harder because it used harder words and it had an longer story. As we worked as a group we got the task finished and filled in all the gaps by trying it. We had to follow the instructions and understand the meaning of the story. We were learning to skim and scan so we could find the word that best fitted in the gap. I really enjoyed this task as we had to follow the instruction because it was an different way of doing the activity. Our learning intention was to follow instruction's and making sure we had to read for meaning and understanding.

This was such a fun lesson Jessie and your summary of it is excellent! I loved watching the collaborative thinking that was happening as you all worked together to make the text make sense. Remember to use your skimming and scanning skills when you are researching too!

Hi Jessie,
Wow the reading task sure did sound fun. Working as a group is better than working by your self because you share and collaborate ideas. Well done and keep up the hard work
