Inquiry Focus: Will a focus on Reading for Enjoyment increase student efficacy and capability in Reading?
Reaching Term 3 and reflecting back on our inquiry has been quite eye opening in the way that Reading for Enjoyment (RFE) has infiltrated our students. I have noticed that there has been an increase in not only their reading ability and capability but also in their confidence when talking about reading and books. This increased vocabulary knowledge has aided with the students understanding of not only 'reading' but with all the curriculum subjects.
One of my goals from last term was to ensure the students saw me as one of their teaches read, so when we were RFE we were ALL RFE. At first as teachers we would remind our students that it was RFE time, now the students remind me.
A noticeable difference is that not only is the new vocabulary used but the self-efficacy to utilise that body of newly acquired words in their speeches.
