Reflection on R3 session

As always it is great to catch up with the other R3 teachers and be comforted in the idea that we all have similar concerns about our students.
Reading the article 'Closing in on Close Reading' brought forward some key questions that I had had. After administering the BAS I realised that my students score poorly due to their inability to delve deeper into the text. Through the article I have come to realise that I need to include more questions about the authors choice of language and  what are they trying to tell me. Modelling these type of questions is extremely important as we need out students to ask themselves these questions when they are reading any text. This is a major challenge we all have and one that we can work on together.
