10. The results so far...
• The students in the Kea and Kokako Reading
groups were reading well below expectation
and accordingly formed my target group for
Literacy.
• Four students in Kea reading group:
• They started the year reading at Level 9 - three
out of the four students are currently reading
at Level 17, a movement of eight levels in less
than two terms. Not bad eh? :-)

11. • The three students in Kokako Reading
group started the year on Level 14. Two
are currently reading at Level 21 while
the third is reading at Level 22. A
movement of seven and eight levels
respectively, in less than two terms.

12. What has made the difference?
• Using the students’ running
records and reading behaviours
when reading with me, I identified
their specific learning needs.
• From there I devised and sourced
various computer activities to
address these needs.

13. • Although the activities are similar
to the “pen and paper” activities of
years gone by, the presentation is
far more appealing and interactive,
thus ensuring a much higher level
of engagement, which in turn has
resulted in higher achievement
levels.
