As children develop and learn at different rates, it is necessary to differentiate the curriculum to accommodate all levels.

A high priority of our Reading Program is to design a program for emergent readers (K-2) who have not yet mastered the basics of reading (e.g. knowledge of sounds / letters, word attack skills, sight words and comprehension).

To date, children in years 1 and 2 have been screened on standardized reading tests and chosen for the appropriate intervention group relative to their needs.  Parents of these students will be informed in writing over the next few days.  Assessment on their progress will occur once a term and this will be communicated to the parents.  Once the students reach the Independent Reading Level, they graduate from the program with six monthly assessment reviews.

The intervention program will be run by Miss Lambert and ....................., in consultation with the class teachers and the Learning Support Team.
