Reading Videos at Level 1.5
This series of reading videos are presented to support teachers to make consistent and accurate judgements of students’ progress in reading, against the reading domain of the English Victorian Essential Learning Standards. The videos depict student-teacher interactions, which highlight typical student behaviours that reflect the reading standards and progression points. They may be viewed to generate professional conversations about student learning and to report on student progress.
