At roots ladybird series are introduced in the Montessori and children are taught reading through phonic approach. All our children have successfully completed ladybird series. Each book contains a list of new words which keeps on increasing from book to book. Reading Skill is accelerated and children experience pleasure and a sense of achievement. Now children will move on to Ginn Series New Reading 360 Level 5. Reading will develop gradually under the guidance of the Reading Teacher. The pictures arouse curiosity and extend the imagination of young learners and thus facilitate speaking skills at a very early stage. Look ð Observe ð Talk approach is used to stimulate young minds. Aim is to develop reading fluency in young children. Parents are requested to keep the remaining readers safe at home and only send the reader that is read in the class. ð-. ð-. ð 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ð-. Note for Parents: Please see that your child organises his / her bag according to the above instructions as it will lighten the burden of the bag and the books / notebooks will be brought in accordance to the class timetable issued to the child in August 2007. Kindly ensure that your child maintains neat notebooks. The teacher will be sending home notebooks (which will remain in the class cupboard) for revision of tests / for your perusal according to a set schedule. Kindly ensure that the notebooks are well maintained and returned to the class teacher as per her instructions which will be clearly stated in the child s homework diary. The teacher will correspond with you through HW diary. In case you have any queries or anxieties, kindly correspond with the class teacher through the homework diary. To remain actively involved in your child s development and academic progress, you are requested to read his / her homework diary on daily basis and sign accordingly. In case you are anxious about some matter, please do not hesitate to interact with the school. Immediately call the Branch Head on her office number and she will satisfy you by addressing your anxiety. At roots we believe in triangular approach to education with the fullest participation of parents ð school ð student. Kindly spend quality time with your child and converse in English at home so that our efforts yield fruitful results. Encourage your child to read books and motivate them to establish mini library in their bedroom. Cheap books are available in all the second hand bookshops and Sunday Bazaars. At this stage encourage them to buy books instead of toys as it is only through books that we can develop the intellectual capacity of our children. Reading habit has to be cultivated in the primary years. We shall be looking forward to working with you in bringing out the best in our children. ð AC KNO W L ED GEMEN T I have read Bag Organization Circular RSS-BO-PSC-01-A-2007 issued on August 27, 2007. ______________________ Parents Signature Issued by: Department of Quality Curriculum Teaching Standards & Monitoring Head Office: 74 Harley Street, Rawalpindi Date: ________________ FUNCTIONS OF TSM ng Sta n d ar ds ri o t i n o M & Orientation / Individual Meeting & Counseling of Local Teachers n em Te a c hi TSMS EVALUATING STUDENT’S •Note Book •Project & Research Work •Diary Communications st Evaluating Teaching Skills to refine Knowledge y S g Student’s Feedback Appropriate use of Resource Material & Teaching Aids issued by DQCTSM STANDARDIZED MONITORING PROCEDURE • TEACHER EVALUATION • Individual teacher is assessed by DQCTSM through: • (Academic Standards & Quality Monitoring Assessment Proforma) • Is filled once in a month • Rewards & Certificates after every Academic Term for Career Progression / Annual Salary Review STANDARDIZED MONITORING PROCEDURE BRANCH HEAD EVALUATION ❖ Branch Head is assessed by DQCTSM on the behalf of Directors through: (School Development Plan Monitoring Assessment Proforma) ❖ Is filled once in a month ❖ Rewards & Certificates after every Academic Term for Career Progression / Annual Salary Review TEACHER TRAINING •Beginning and Mid of every Academic year through INSETT’S. •Teacher who joins in Mid Session is Trained at DQCTSM for Ten Days after Regular School.
