Your students as learners We have notice over the last few months of doing QS with the students their confident levels have increased. They are will to read out aloud in class Some have moved up a level in their spelling groups Positive attitudes towards doing homework and class work.

Development of new passages We haven’t really development any new passages, as yet but looking at doing it next year, for the different levels of students coming up. Vicki did start to develop a new passage but never got it finished.
