Welcome to the Read With Colour Tutor Guide! This all-encompassing program is crafted to provide tutors with the vital tools and methodologies to boost literacy and foster a passion for reading among children. The guide is packed with a variety of resources to help you conduct your classes efficiently, including worksheets, songs, and numerous engaging activities to support your teaching efforts. Although there are no videos available at the moment, the materials provided will assist you in guiding your lessons or integrating them directly into the classroom to aid learners in their phonics. Included in the guide are test sheets designed to evaluate learners' phonics skills. It is essential to ensure that learners articulate the sounds correctly, particularly when dealing with diphthongs. Consistent practice with the worksheets is crucial for effective reinforcement. At Lees deur Kleur, we do not depend on written reports. Instead, we recommend capturing videos of learners as they complete the phonics activities on the test sheets. This creates a visual record for parents to observe their child’s progress. As learners advance, you can take follow-up videos to keep parents informed, though this does not need to be done after every class. For older learners who may face challenges with reading, consider recording a brief video during their initial reading session. As they make progress, record another video to showcase their improvement. This not only encourages parents but also allows them to witness the tangible benefits of the lessons. Besides phonics and reading, we emphasize letter formation, which is vital for preparing learners for Grade 1. Strive to make your lessons dynamic and enjoyable so that learners look forward to each session. To conclude on a fun note, you might dedicate the last 5 minutes of the class to a game like noughts and crosses, which the learners thoroughly enjoy – especially when they win! As tutors, you are more than welcome to share a recording of your class in action. This will enable me to offer feedback and guidance where necessary, ensuring you feel confident and supported in your teaching.
