Every Mon, Tue and Wed, SR Labi will have Labi Literacy Hour ( Reading Big Books ) starting at 7.40 am to 8.10 am. This reading programme will be done every month for the rest of the schooling year. The first week of the month will focus on model reading by the reading teachers. The second week will be on doing individual reading, group reading or reading aloud together. The third week will be on brainstorming, cracking ideas or new vocabularies found in the big book. The fourth week will be on doing authenthic assessment with the pupils. The Reading Teachers will derive activities such as dialogue reading, role playing or doing book reviews and other creative activities with the pupils.
So far, the reading teachers have been embracing the importance of these reading periods to be done with the pupils to support them in grasping better understanding in English language and inevitably will lead and motivate the pupils to do more pleasure reading in their spare time. At the same time, the reading teachers can also polish their own command in english and will give them more confidence in teaching.
