We listen to children reading all the time in our classrooms. If you would like to understand those reading behaviours you observe a little better and be able to use those observation records to inform your teaching, then this webinar will be of interest to you. It will discuss in particular the reading behaviours associated when children use information based on Meaning, Structure and Visual. It would be useful to have completed the Running Records webinar but not essential.

The webinar will focus directly on:

• Reading defined!
• What is strategic activity?
• Exploring Meaning, Structure and Visual (MSV)
• Teacher prompts to develop MSV
