Focus: Reading
Strategic Aim: To create a community of learners with high academic achievement in literacy
To create a community of Maori learners with high academic achievement in literacy
Annual Aim for 2012: To raise the percentage of Year 6 pupils reading at or above the National Standard
To raise the percentage of Year 6 Maori pupils reading at or above National Standard
Rationale:
2011 results showed that our children are often slow to make early progress in reading but most (65%) are achieving by the end of year 6. If we could accelerate their progress earlier than year 4 or 5 we should be closer to achieving our aim of creating a community of learners with high academic achievement in literacy.
Reading goal
Measurable Targets: To increase the percentages of pupils reading at or above the National Standard to
· For pupils in their second year of schooling, from 29% in February(17 pupils) to 50% at the end of the year (29 pupils)
· For year 4, from 44% in February (19 pupils) to 60% at the end of the year (23 pupils)
· For year 6, from 65% in February (20 pupils) to 75% at the end of the year (24 pupils)
Mid year review
Firstly, a reminder that these expectations are “by the end of the year” or “at the end of their second year”. These results are from term 1, so we have three terms to go.
We have two 6 year old pupils who have reached or bettered the National Standard for children at the end of their second year of school already.
Teacher judgement is that another 10 should achieve the goal by the end of their second year making 40% at the national standard. Another 2 or 3 pupils are on track to be close to the standard. If they make it to level 17 we will reach our goal of 50% of our pupils being “at or above” by their 7th birthday.
For year 4 pupils we have 6 pupils who have reached or bettered the National Standard already.
Teacher judgement is that another 10 should achieve the goal by the end of the year making 54% at the national standard. Another 3 or 4 pupils are on track to be close to the standard. It is possible we will reach our goal of 60% “at or above” by years end.
For year 6 pupils we have 12 pupils who have reached or bettered the National Standard already.
Teacher judgement is that another 6 or 7 should achieve the goal by the end of the year making 70% at the national standard. It is likely we will be very close to our goal of 75% “at or above” by years end.
