We will embed an evidence based literacy program that teaches students to read, write and spell.
- We adopt an explicit and sequential literacy approach for teaching children to read, write and spell with confidence
- We teach 8 phonemic awareness skills daily including Rhyme, Phoneme Isolation, Blending, Segmenting, and Manipulation.
- We teach, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension and explicit writing instruction through Author Studies and Core Knowledge Units.
- We explicitly teach speaking and listening skills, including conversational techniques, turn-taking and pair-share.
- Directly linked to the Victorian Curriculum.
