There has been a lot of discussion in the media lately about children's literacy levels and reading ability, and as always, your friendly neighbourhood learning platform is here to help!
So how can DB Primary help pupils improve their reading skills?
- Teachers can create pupil Learning Logs to act as reading records - allowing parents and pupils to easily see and comment on individual progress, next steps and learning outcomes
- The DB team can help schools create reading and literacy communities, promoting use of free e-books through sites such as Oxford Owls, as well as providing staff with access to a wealth of English and literacy resources
- Pupils can use the recording tool to record videos of themselves reading work they have written - improving their communication and reading skills
- DB Primary is integrated with Widgit reading accessibility tools Widgit Insite and Widgit Point, which can be used to help pupils of all ages and ability improve their reading skills
- Pupils and staff can use the forum to discuss their favourite stories and books, and use the drawing tool to create pictures to accompany the stories they read and hear in the classroom
- The forum can also be used to create a collaborate story, which pupils can write and read together
- Schools can create virtual book clubs, encouraging pupils to take part in lively discussions about their favourite books, authors, and characters - with photos of children dressing up as their favourite characters on World Book Day!
We would love to hear any other suggestions about ways to use DB Primary for improving reading attainment and getting pupils excited about literacy – anyone can contact us on Twitter with ideas!
