Last week we said goodbye to daddy 🀍 This photo is how I choose to remember him... Enjoying sharing a book with my little SΓ©, laughing because he could already turn the pages and point to the animals πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜πŸ’™

Daddy was always the 'maths man' in our house. We were directed to him with any tricky maths homework problems, and could be sure that he would bamboozle us with 'old' ways of doing it... which always turned out right!

He gave us every opportunity to achieve and become successful, for which I am so grateful. He will be greatly missed, but we take comfort in the knowledge that he is now reunited with mammy πŸͺ½πŸ€

Daddy wasn't one for taking much time off! But I'm going to take this week to spend time with my family πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§

The Reading Room will open again on Monday 7th August and I look forward to welcoming all my pupils back then to continue our summer reading sessions πŸ˜ŠπŸ“–

Thank you all for your kind words and understanding at this difficult time 🫢

Errrrr... The English language is a tricky one isn't it??! πŸ€”

Not for this pupil! 😊 After exploring sounds and spellings on the alphabet arc, they took on the challenge of sorting words and spelling them in the correct category... A job well done!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

The enthusiasm from this boy is just something else πŸ€— I mean... Just look at that list of spellings!!!

This absolute star ⭐ didn't want to stop after a few and requested, 'More' and 'More' and 'MORE'!... So that's just what we did 😊

🀩 Just look at what my superstar pupil was awarded at school!! She was delighted to bring it along to show me πŸ₯³

Making reading meaningful πŸ’‘πŸ“–

This is a perfect little snapshot of a wonderful session that brought word work, spelling, reading and writing together ⭐

The letter 'g' that makes the /j/ sound explored in the word 'giant', practised in spelling other words and brought to life in the story of Finn McCool πŸ‘Œ So much packed in πŸ˜…... SO MUCH fun had!!

Parent Approved! βœ… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ βœ…

It's just so wonderful to receive feedback like this 🀩

This boy came to me with the goal of being able to read novels 'like his friends' and he left me doing just that! πŸ₯³ He's now a confident, independent reader... My work here is done! 😊

Love hearts for sound buttons πŸ’™πŸ’šπŸ’™ ... A perfect way to get back to 'normal' in The Reading Room after the Easter break πŸ’›

πŸ’­ I just love when a book inspires a reader! 🎨

πŸ‘€ Look at what one of my very talented pupils visualised, then created after reading all about how special effects teams make monsters for film and TV! 🀩

??! Here's a favourite little mnemonic of ours here at The Reading Doctor, Belfast - Moira to help you out 😊

Using mnemonics is just one of the ways we help our pupils remember 'tricky' spellings. This one is from our fantastic little 'Tricky Word Tricks' resource created by our own Reading Doctors β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’™

This creative Reading Doctor pupil loved working on a wonderful story map after reading a short chapter book at the weekend πŸ˜ŠπŸ“–πŸ’™

Story maps πŸ—ΊοΈ are such a great way to;

⭐ Improve comprehension of narrative text,
⭐ Provide a framework for identifying the elements of a story,
⭐ Help pupils capture and organise information and ideas efficiently, and
⭐ Help pupils to develop a deeper understanding of how stories work, which can be applied to other texts.

This pupil was super proud of his map and couldn't wait to use it to retell the story to mum on the way home πŸ€—πŸ’¬

07/01/2023

πŸ‘€ Just look at the progress made by this little superstar reader!! 🌟

And it's not just me that's noticed the difference here in The Reading Room...

In his mum's own words, 'He's flying now and just wants to spell and read words all the time!"

Success!! πŸ₯³
