Teaching Assistant And Reading Intervention Lead
Dogsthorpe Infant School
Peterborough, United Kingdom
I taught a Year 1 class one afternoon a week-Music, PSHE, RE and Guided Reading. I was the Reading Recovery Lead which means it was my responsibility to lead reading and writing intervention groups and support other Teaching Assistants to lead these groups by scheduling meetings, collecting data in the children's reading levels and observing them to identify training needs. I planned and delivered phonics to a small group of children. I supported children in the classroom with their work including children with additional needs, EAL and children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. I measured the children's progress by gathering APP evidence, and helped them to develop their skills in a range of subjects, so that they could achieve their potential. In 2014-2015 I also covered teacher's PPA time by delivering planned lessons to a variety of classes and marking work.
