About This Video
Under the Gradual Release of Responsibility, responsibility moves from teacher to child in stages. First you model the skill explicitly (I do), then you practise it together (we do), and then children apply it independently (you do).
The video shows how the Get Reading Right resources map onto each stage, from explicit teaching with the Toolkit, through guided practice, to independent reading and rotations. Each child gets the right amount of support at each point.
