Thoughts from visiting R3 Lessons so far

It has been a real privilege to  come and sit on on your lessons over the last couple of weeks. I have been most impressed by the enthusiasm of the students, as well as the hard work you are putting in. It's also heartening to see how the students are becoming more articulate in what they are noticing about themselves as readers.

I love the way you are organising your spaces and treating them like your own classroom, with anchor charts to support students as they read, and how some of you are making a real focus area for independent reading.

I'm noticing that choice of texts is challenging - finding a just right text for Shared and an appropriate one for Guided Reading as well. Perhaps we can share some that have worked particularly well for you in your group. We need to ensure they are at the right level of challenge but with sufficient supports as well, so if we can support each other with this it would be great.
