The 1:1 session

This session is about teaching, assessment, deciding on the next learning steps, and choosing the right text to support these. It must be focussed and delivered with pace.

• The reader must get out own book, target card, home school book, and sound check sheets
• Warm up – phrase cards, sound check sheets or comprehension
• Child to say target
• Introduce book or recap as appropriate
• Read to or with if required
• Child reads, adult makes notes (quick miscue analysis)
• If necessary adult models the prompt when pupil comes to an unknown word (until prompt used independently)
• Praise given – specific to cue / target
• Re negotiate target if appropriate
• End the session by choosing new book and child to finish by repeating their target
