Thought I'd share how I have found using the 'Golden Rule' has benefited children.
I have tried this exercise on a couple of children in my class and I have found the same outcome each time. When I initially tell the children any word that they may get stuck on for the first few pages I noticed that the speed that they read increased, their enthusiasm for the story increased and how many pages they want to read also increased because their confidence had increased. However, when I reverted to letting them work out the word by encouraging them to say the first sound and guessing then their speed decreased, they seemed less willing to read as many pages as before and their enthusiasm seemed to have diminished profoundly. Which is why I now always follow the Golden Rule when listening to a child and am going to enquire as to whether this rule can be stuck into their Reading Record Book for the children’s parents to follow or even added to the parents guidance for reading at home.
