Trosolwg

Mae’r sesiwn hon wedi ei chynllunio i gefnogi cynorthwyr addysgu i ddatblygu rhuglder ac annibyniaeth darllen dysgwyr. Gan adeiladu ar seiliau ffoneg, bydd y sesiwn yn canolbwyntio ar helpu disgyblion i ddarllen gyda mwy o gywirdeb, cyflymder, mynegiant a dealltwriaeth.

Bydd cynorthwyr addysgu yn archwilio strategaethau effeithiol megis darllen modeliedig, darllen adleisio a darllen ailadroddus i feithrin hyder ac awtomatigrwydd. Bydd y sesiwn hefyd yn datblygu sgiliau cwestiynu, gan gyflwyno dulliau syml i ddyfnhau dealltwriaeth a chefnogi trafodaeth am destunau.

Bydd cyfleoedd ar gyfer trafod, ymarfer ac adlewyrchu yn galluogi cyfranogwyr i ystyried sut i gefnogi ystod o ddysgwyr a mynd i’r afael â rhwystrau cyffredin mewn darllen.

Overview

This practical and engaging session is designed to support teaching assistants in developing learners’ reading fluency and independence. Building on phonics foundations, the session focuses on helping pupils read with increasing accuracy, pace, expression and understanding.

Teaching assistants will explore effective strategies such as modelled, echo and repeated reading to build confidence and automaticity. The session will also develop questioning skills, introducing simple approaches to deepen comprehension and support discussion about texts.

Opportunities for discussion, practice and reflection will enable participants to consider how to support a range of learners and address common barriers to reading. A key focus will be on promoting independence, ensuring support enables learners to take increasing ownership of their reading over time.
