Recently my department have really focused on improving reading fluency and comprehension (also a whole school focus). It was great to receive some positive feedback on this in a recent Ofsted deep-dive. Here are some strategies we have been using - THREAD:

3. Choral responses. This task is perfect for using whole class choral responses. I count down from 3 then ask all students to give their answer aloud. There are only two possible answers, which lowers the stakes and keeps it simple - but you’d expect a very high success rate.
Great to speak as part of a brilliant line up for @geogicons. Plenty of excellent presentations and still some to come! All the resources and PPT from my presentation on Reading in Geography can be found here: drive.google.com/drive/mobil…

Recently in my department we have been refining our approach to assessment and feedback. There is still some work to do on this, but we received some great feedback in our recent Ofsted deep dive and have seen improved results. A few examples of strategies here. THREAD:
5. Assessing knowledge: this is now taking priority. In addition to the usual afl, students complete regular knowledge checks. Short answer questions with peer assessment and forms quizzes with carefully designed MCQ’s have been the go to.
