This course, direct from New Zealand, helps to create a manageable reading program in your year 2-6 classroom. It targets readers who have developed fluency with decoding and now have the available head space to process text at a much deeper level as they construct meaning and think critically.
SharpReading guided and shared reading routines are quite unique and shift the locus of control from the teacher to the students, providing them with the opportunity to truly habitualise comprehension skills and transfer them into everyday reading. SharpReaders do not just talk about the metacognitive reading strategies that they should be using, they spend most of their time using them!
Highly recommended for the experienced classroom teacher who is looking for a fresh approach to comprehension instruction, the beginning teacher who needs some structure to get an effective reading program up and running, as well as the relieving teacher who needs a stand alone routine that can be quickly introduced as a one-off lesson.
"My students have said, and I quote, "This is fun. I like trying to unpack sentences and convincing others that I know what is going on." "They really enjoy the clear structure of the session and the challenges it brings." Year 4 Teacher, Napier.

We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We wish to pay respect to their Elders - past, present and future - and acknowledge the important role all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within Australia. We stand in solidarity.
