AVAILLL

Room 8 has begun a new reading programme called AVAILLL.  It stands for Audio Visual Achievement In Literacy, Language, and Learning.

We "ReadWatch" a movie.  This means that while the movie is playing, we have to also read the subtitles.  Throughout the movie there are activities we have to complete, and we also read parts of the book that the movie is based on.  We have to pay a lot of attention to the subtitles to complete the activities correctly!

The first movie we have studied is "Meet the Robinsons", which is based on the book "A Day with Wilbur Robinson".

Below are a few photos and videos of Room 8 during our AVAILLL time.

 ReadWatching "Meet the Robinsons".  You can see that everyone is on task, and if you watch carefully you can see people reading the subtitles!

This activity is called Spellfast.  You can see (and hear!) that every one is on task and engaged in the activity.

Reading tips and tricks

The Fraggle Rock reading group came across some tricky words in their book last week.  Miss Bolton was teaching them a rule, where if two vowels are next to each other the first vowel says its name and the second vowel is silent.

We looked at some different examples, like pain, meat, and each.  Then we watched a clip from Youtube called "Two vowels go walking".

Can you think of any other words that fit this rule?  Comment if you can!
