Our School is on a whole school journey of transitioning from version 8.4 to version 9 curriculum which incorporates a different approach to the teaching of reading.
Every day reading is incorporated into the classroom learning program.
Our whole school reading strategies support students to decode texts. These can be used at home when you are supporting your child with reading. Please speak with your child’s teacher if you need more information.
We are also explicitly teaching 'Into the Book' comprehension strategies:
· Prior knowledge
· Making connections
· Questioning
· Inferring
· Synthesising
· Visualising
· Evaluating
· Summarising
Each day our classes are following our school reading practices of whole class reading. This process incorporate phonics instruction, phonemic awareness, heart words, spelling, decoding and comprehending.
