Reading

PublishingPageContent

Our Explicit Improvment Agenda this year is Reading. We have regular opportunities for parents to obtain support materials, learn about and be engaged in reading with their child/ren.

Class Library

Every classroom has a class library with a variety of texts that are changed regularly to keep engagement in reading high in classrooms.

Reading Groups

All year levels have reading groups involving class teachers, cohort leaders and a teacher aide multiple times across the week targetted to the students learning goal.

Reading Intervention

Early targetted intervention is a large investments with every year level having teacher aides who implement 15min daily 1-on-1 intervention with students who are below benchmark in reading.  Teachers plan for these students to complement their classroom work and reading groups.
