  1. Changing the home reading program at Brighton Beach Primary School Task 3- Option 2

  2. Task 3- taking action myself to establish stronger literacy practicesour old take home reading program • Students took home ‘readers’ according to the colour band they were in from Running Record Results. • Students had little passion for reading. • Parent community was intense about their children moving into the next coloured box.

  3. Changing our thinking- trialling something new • Students created categories of the books they read. • Students reorganised the ‘readers’ into new boxes, ignoring the coloured dots on the back. • Students encouraged to spend some time discussing their favourite genre and looking at all of the books.

  4. Educating teachers, students and parent community • Language of ‘take home readers’ banned, students were now taking home ‘books’ that they were interested in, the students became the ‘readers’ • Parent community was informed through notices or parent information evenings.

  5. Educating students to choose the best book for them • Teachers and students discussed how and why they need choose a book that is ‘just right’ for them. • Students given ‘agency’ in taking charge of their learning through the selection of a book they are passionate about. • Parent community, continually being educated that it is the student’s responsibility to choose a ‘just right’ book.

  6. Passion for reading is reignited and changes begin in the senior school too. Book club in Gr 5 Different categories in Gr 4 Recommended book box in Gr 5. Written recommendations in Gr 4
