Transforming My Classroom

I have began a new session with a fresh set of kids. it was a difficult beginning but we have weathered the early storms, I have set a target of all my pupils being able to read fluently my mid term of term two. Currently only about 6 of the 20 can read appreciably. I have designed a synthetic phonics scheme which I am experimenting with, It involves a combination of multimedia tools and regular paper texts.
I discovered that the kids loved listening to the sounds of phonemes played from my laptop and phones. I have also downloaded some fun songs from the jolly phonic site.
One of the challenges we face is that the pupils are not given extra support at home to reinforce what we practice in class, but I am glad that the pupils are becoming more self directed in their quest to learn how to read. I feel great joy when I see some of them looking for anything to read in their free time.
We are just six weeks in, but i see a ray of light at the end of the tunnel.
