Teaching and Learning

Curriculum Day - Literacy

We hope that all of our families enjoy an extra long break this weekend. Stay safe and enjoy whatever you may be doing.

On Friday, our staff will be engaging in quality professional learning related to Literacy, with particular focus on Reading and Spelling.

Our day of professional learning will focus on:

- Strengthening our support of individual student learning needs through the Readers Workshop structure - where there is a strong focus on purposeful independent reading, personalised learning goals and the explicit teaching of strategy focus groups.

- Promoting reading engagement, and promoting student voice and choice, through the development of quality classroom libraries.

- Further developing our knowledge and practices in relation to the effective teaching of spelling to support our students as readers and writers.

The actions from our learning on Curriculum Day will be ongoing and may mean that you hear your child referring to...

the Reader's Workshop or the Reader's Notebook , Independent Reading and the Spelling Strategies.
