19 Nov - Lynne's logic - Multiplication
Here is another blog from our much missed Lynne Startin. This blog was last issued in 2017, so we felt a re-issue was much over-due. We hope you find it helpful.
Well, multiplication is the name of the game today, (cue a song for any oldies reading this!).
I remember attending a workshop led by a well-respected mathematician, who began by telling us multiplication does not exist in nature. Shock, horror! But I later understood what he meant. Do you agree?
13 Nov - How does a learner get to Catch Up® Literacy level 12?
There are 12 levels of reading difficulty identified in Catch Up® Literacy. Levels 1 – 10 are intended for Primary-aged learners and levels 4 – 12 are for Secondary learners.
In the Catch Up® Literacy e-file, on page 82, there is a chart which shows how to correlate the number of words a pupil has read accurately in Assessment 2 (sight word knowledge) and an indicative Catch Up® starting level. The maximum score a learner can achieve on Assessment 2 is 240, and that would suggest Catch Up® level 10 as the starting level.
