Literacy Support has an open door policy where students are enrolled at any time of the year. Basic testing in foundation English for Years 7-10 is conducted yearly through TORCH tests and data is distributed and discussed with relevant teachers to assist their principles of teaching and learning. There is on-going consultation with classroom teachers, psychologists, the Wellbeing Team, parents and guardians about students’ needs. A range of diagnostic tests are used to ascertain learning difficulties and to measure students’ progress. Naplan results are used to invite potential candidates for support. Students work on “The Intensive Reading Program”, popular text and media to boost fluency, accuracy and comprehension in reading, writing oral presentations. Assistance for class work and homework is provided. Literacy Support is practical, time sensitive and effective. Students feel nurtured, optimistic and empowered. Dr. Intha R. Chetty Literacy Support / Program for Students with Disabilities Coordinator. |
