Literacy+-+Teaching+and+Learning+Strategies

The Literacy Learning Progressions must be used to inform teachers planning, teaching, assessment and reporting. The LLP’s must be clearly identified in long term plans. Learning intentions and success criteria used with the students must be derived from the LLP’s. Teachers assess against the learning intentions. Report indicators on the end of year reports will be LLP indicators. Our school progressions document is currently being written. ** __Reading:__ ** The aim of reading is to teach students to decode and encode, make meanings, and to think critically about texts. ** __ Teaching Approaches __ ** Teachers should use a range of teaching strategies. Teachers must regularly refer to the following document to inform their teaching.

All books must travel home in a book bag. Years 0-2: Must have a seen text sent home Monday – Thursday. Years 3 – 4: Students reading below their chronological age must have a seen text sent home Monday – Thursday. Students are required to read for a minimum of 15 minutes a day Monday – Thursday. This may be from a book box, library book or an independent choice. Years 5 – 6: Students reading below their chronological age must have a seen text sent home Monday – Thursday.
