\"So I just wanted to look at children's reactions to the free reading that we're doing. So we say to them choose a book that you think you can read for five minutes, it's not normally that long but see if you can read for that long, we're not going to change them, it's got to be one you're interested in and they spend a bit of time doing that and encourage them and talking them through the choosing the book process and then we say you can go anywhere in the classroom, so you can be lying on the floor under a table, sat at a table, kneeling, anywhere. So I was looking at the distribution of children across the classroom and then also looking at their reactions to the free reading.\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cI decided to look at where children go to for help in terms of their English support. I wanted to look at different children and their natural go to. I spoke to them first about where they go to for help with literacy and they said it's mainly me, so that's the significance of the swirl at the front, and the whiteboard because as I teach obviously there are resources on the whiteboard. So they all said that wherever they're sitting - these are the tables in the room - wherever they're sitting their direction of gaze tends to be towards the front and that's their first seek for any help, that's where they look towards any help.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
