Dani and Bill chat about Deltora Quest. Somehow it turns into an escape room?

Welcome back to part six of our podcast series on high-impact strategies for struggling readers in Years 3 to 6. Today, we delve into the power of reading aloud, a topic that Mem Fox has passionately explored. Let's reiterate the value of making read-aloud sessions a daily, intentional practice.Once you establish a routine of read-alouds, students will look forward to it and demand it. This excitement is fuelled by selecting texts that not only captivate their interests but also expand their horizons. Instead of choosing books that mirror their everyday experiences, consider texts that introduce them to new ideas and genres, fostering curiosity and broadening their understanding of the world.Chapter books are particularly important for students in Years 3 to 6. They help children develop the skills to engage with longer texts, sustain their interest, and think deeply. Australian authors like Emily Rodda, with series like Rowan of Rin and Deltora Quest, offer rich, immersive stories that are perfect for read-aloud sessions. Similarly, Katrina Nannestad's "We Are Wolves" and Catherine Applegate's verse narrative "Odder" provide diverse literary experiences.The key is to read books you've personally enjoyed and found successful with students. When choosing a book, consider the unique dynamics and interests of your class. Ensure that read-aloud sessions are inclusive, especially for struggling readers, who should not miss out on this enriching experience. These sessions allow all students to be part of the "literacy club," engaging in discussions and building their vocabulary and comprehension skills.Balancing enjoyment with instructional opportunities is crucial. Focus primarily on the enjoyment of the story, but don't shy away from teaching moments. For example, if you notice your students struggling with punctuation, you can briefly highlight how it's used during a read-aloud session without disrupting the flow of the story. This can be revisited and reinforced during dedicated mini-lessons in your reading workshop.Reading aloud is one of the most effective, low-input strategies we have. It doesn't require special materials, just a fluent reader and a collection of thoughtfully chosen books. It's a practice that supports all readers, enhancing vocabulary, comprehension, and overall literacy skills. By making it a daily practice, we provide every child with the opportunity to grow as a reader and thinker.In conclusion, read-aloud sessions are more than just a classroom activity; they are a powerful tool for building a community of readers. They offer shared experiences that foster discussions, wonder, and discovery. So, let's commit to making read-aloud a high-impact, daily part of our teaching strategy, ensuring that every child benefits from the magic of a well-told story.BOOKS, in the order mentioned in the podcast:Rodda, E. Rowan of RinRodda, E. Deltora QuestRodda, E. The GlimmeNannestad, K. Rabbit, Soldier, Angel, ThiefNannestad, K. We Are WolvesDiTerlizzi, T. and Black, H. The Spiderwick Chronicles - Field GuideApplegate, K. OdderGold, H. The Last BearMa, S. A Glasshouse of StarsStewart, P. and Riddell, C. Fergus CraneFunke, C. Dragon RiderMorpurgo, M. The Fox and the Ghost KingPennypacker, S. PaxCooper, H. The Hippo at the End of the HallHowes, K. Woven of the WorldMystery, P. The Midnight PantherBlackall, S. FarmhouseBailey, S. The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Peculiar Pairs in NatureVan Allsburg, C. JumanjiVan Allsburg, C. The Polar ExpressVan Allsburg, C. The Mysteries of Harris BurdickVan Allsburg, C. The Z Was ZappedVan Allsburg, C. The Wreck of the ZephyrJOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific  today.

Show Hosts: Kyle, Emma, and Allison. Welcome to SEASON TWO of the podcast!! We're so excited to be back. Our theme for this season is sci-fi and fantasy tropes! Writers often think of tropes negatively, but they're just commonly used themes or plot elements—symbols of the genre that keep readers coming back for more. Understanding tropes and using them effectively can deepen your worldbuilding! Today's trope: the legendary artifact of power. The thing that separates these artifacts from other magical items is rarity. There's often only one, and the artifact is so powerful it may have the ability to end worlds (or, at least, cause a lot of destruction). This power usually makes the object one of desire and even myth. Stories Covered: The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda, Aladdin Produced by Mythos & Ink.

A dive into the brutality of humanity, but childlike in nature and without the bullshit of politics.'Lord Of The Flies' by William Golding is a boy's dream adventure that takes a dark turn. It begins with an intro to a group of 6-14 year olds who are stranded on a small island without an adult in site. Tensions run high as the responsible tribe formed by Ralph is splintered by the tribalistic Jack. The savagery of human nature and deep seated fear of the Beast is exposed as the hunting progresses. I summarised the book as follows. "It's a tale of day/night, beauty/beast and fun/fear. It takes a real look at human nature by examining us at our most primal, when we are little beastly children. It's a short book but gives you time to get to know each character. Overall it felt like a mix of Robinson Crusoe with any generic children's book (such as The Fantastic Five or Deltora Quest)."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

The boys have well and truly adjusted to life in quarantine and recording remotely, just in time to be presented with an Easter miracle, the release of Curious George, friend of the podcast. Catholics around the world rejoiced, as children around Australia were handed another reason to stay indoors, as a menace bigger than Kushagra was back on the streets. (Coincidently, Kushagra was missing again this week, but he does tell us that Cardinal Pell sends his regards). In non-nonce related discussion this week: faking logbook hours, bad pickup lines, a philosophical debate about Karen and a sick predator delightfully recounts the story of them anally penetrating their underage victim. Also this week: $15,000 strobe lights, Deltora Quest, Rohit's Harry Potter fetish and a terrible BBQ. Segments this week: The Logue: Tired of reaching around each other (at least on the podcast), the boys have instead decided to reach around the week's news stories, events and viral trends. Timeline Time Machine: We take a trip down memory lane in this game as they boys try and guess their old social media posts. Answer Reddit: Content creation is simple when you read questions off https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Freddit.com%2Fr%2FAskReddit&h=AT0iUv1GPqsuy6blNx_iwxA7-sswgPUPqZhWvdKO38v-EMpvHLUuPNAzs2zpmVLKSka_6i5FI6Analig2NV06DCtGA_sMBsmPyrSoivqeYb4yufUxFZ-viaKCDmWCfLoDEIgSQ (r/AskReddit) and provide your own answers! What Did We Learn: As per usual, the boys cap off the episode with a useless nugget of information. This time, they leave you with something they learned during the week (which you all probably already knew) ___________________________________________________ FULL PODCAST EPISODES
