Today marks our first RPI class, and what a day it was!
Being considered by our kura to take part in RPI this year really excited me, as I will be able to learn more and work together with other kaiako throughout Aotearoa. I enjoyed learning about how reading is core to learning and what this actually means, that learning to read and reading to learn go hand in hand. I have been thinking about what kind of reader am I too. This programme would improve my confidence in teaching reading because I do love to read - I grew up always seeing my mum read and we had an extensive library of books. I really enjoyed looking at examples of multi moodles - I have used them in the past for other subjects but had not considered reading! Lastly, I would like to have a discussion with my colleagues around what types of texts we use in our kura and how we can incorporate more or a range in Te Reo Māori.
