RWI學習背景

(資料圖)

今年，AISL哈羅海口小學教研組總結前兩年英語教學經驗，引入了高質量的自然拼讀教學法——牛津“Read, Write Inc.”（簡稱RWI課程），同時結合分層教學法，根據學生拼讀水平進行分組，學生的英語水平由低到高被劃分為紅、綠、粉、紫、橙、黃、藍、灰8個等級小組。

根據他們的英語能力，在這些等級之前是零基礎小組，孩子們在其中學習英語的發音，然后是我們的識字和語言 (L&L) 小組，該小組學習內容與7 歲的英語母語者的水平相當。

在6周的學習后，小學的同學們已經完成了第一階段的學習和評估，我們很高興通過以下測評數據來看到孩子們在過去6周的RWI課程中取得的進步！

RWI新聞速遞！

RWI 課程中，144人（82%）的學生取得了一個或多個級別的進步。 在一般情況下，我們預計大多數孩子會在兩個周期內取得如此成果，但在哈羅小學部，大多數孩子都在一個周期內達成了兩個周期才能達到的學習成果。

29% 的小學學生 (51/175) 取得了連升2級或更高 RWI 水平的進步（加速進步），進步速度高于預期。 通常，我們預計這個數字在 20% 左右。

我們在最高級別和最低級別的分組中看到了極好的進展——零基礎組中的所有孩子全都升入了更高的分組，最高級別的兩組孩子人數從 43 人增加到 63 人，僅 7 周內就達到了 9%的提升！

44位學生在Language & Literacy小組（最高級別），這意味著小學部大約1/5的學生水平適合學習專為 7 歲或以上以英語為母語的人設計的英語課程。

一般來說，在 12 到 16 周內，80% 的人升一個等級，20%的人升兩個等級是正常的。 而我們的同學在7周內就達到了學習目標！

進步程度不同的孩子們進入了新的學習小組后，孩子們很喜歡這個為他們量身定制的學習計劃，閱讀新的RWI書籍時他們常常感到自己很有成就感，因為這些書籍不僅適合他們的能力，而且符合他們的認知。

隨著本周有如此多的孩子進入更具挑戰性的小組，我們對學生取得如此成就感到高興，并對我們的差異化和個性化教學所產生的積極成果感到興奮。

在學習過程中，學生個人興趣，學校的教學及監督和家庭支持對于孩子的快速進步缺一不可！

祝賀我們的小學同學在第一階段取得的極大進步，我們鼓勵孩子和家長在學習過程中有任何問題都能夠及時溝通，并期待每個孩子每一次測評都能走向更高的等級！

RWI NEWS

HOT OFF THE PRESS

This year, the Pre-Prep teaching team fully embraced the Read Write Inc (RWI) Phonics programme by Oxford University Press, which was introduced last year - a high-quality phonics programme designed to lay the foundations for children to succeed in English. The students are divided into eight levels and tagged by different colours - Red, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, Yellow, Blue, and Grey - according to their English competence. These are preceded by sounds and ditties groups where the children learn the sounds of the English language and followed by our Literacy and Language (L&L) programme, which is pitched at the level of native English speakers aged 7 and above.

We have completed our first cycle and are delighted to announce some fantastic results!

Important Results to Share

There were 175 children on the RWI program. 144 (82%) of them made one or more levels of progress.

In normal circumstances we would expect this much progress from most children in two cycles, but in our school, most have managed it in one!

29% of children in pre-prep (51/175) have made 2 or more RWI levels of progress (accelerated progress), improving at above expected rates. Typically we would expect this number to be around 20%.

We have seen excellent progress at the top and bottom ends of our programme - all children in the Sounds group moved onto harder things (note there are several sub-groups in sounds, all children moved from lowest to highest, or exited the sounds phase altogether) and the children in our top two tiers increased from 43 to 63, representing a 9% improvement in this area in just 7 weeks!

We are excited that 44 children are now in our Language and Literacy group, meaning that approximately 1 in 5 of our children are accessing an English curriculum designed for native English speakers aged 7 years or older.

As so many children move into more challenging groups this week, we are delighted with the achievements that they are so proudly talking about and are thrilled at the way our differentiated and personalised approach is already yielding results for our children.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for working so hard to achieve these excellent results, including our teachers who have embraced the programme and worked tirelessly to deliver great results, parents who have supported the children with their reading practice at home and the children who have worked so hard to achieve their success - all indispensable for the rapid progress we have seen!

Congratulations to everyone!
