Reading Recovery training

This year I trained in reading recovery. It has been a year full of new learning, developing my professional practice and explicit teaching of reading and writing. In the beginning of the year it was all about learning how to deliver the reading recovery intervention, it involved a lot of theory the book "literacy lessons designed for individuals' by Marie Clay became my go to source of information i have found this book so valuable in my professional practice not only in reading recovery but in my classroom teaching of literacy as well. It has helped to develop my explicit teaching and how to guide students who struggle in reading and writing. I believe my professional practice has definitely developed throughout my time training. Even though it was daunting i found the teaching behind the scree also very valuable as i received constructive feedback on my teaching and i have been able to become a more effective teacher both in reading recovery and in the classroom. I did struggle this term not having the time needed to deliver the intervention as planned and juggling the responsibilities of a classroom teacher as well as a reading recovery teacher. I am very happy that i was able to complete my training as it enabled me to strengthen my teaching, helped me to reflect and gain new knowledge which i can now apply and utilize in the classroom.
