Literacy & Numeracy Services
Literacy
Our teaching approach is highly supportive and explicit, equipping students with effective skills and strategies across reading, grammar, spelling, and writing.
We begin with meaning as the foundation of learning, ensuring students engage with texts in a way that builds understanding and confidence. For learners who experience difficulty decoding words, we provide targeted support while simultaneously strengthening comprehension.
Reading and spelling are taught as closely connected processes, with skills transferring in both directions to reinforce learning. The texts we use are then leveraged as model texts, allowing us to explicitly teach language structures and writing techniques in a clear, meaningful, and practical way.
Numeracy
The same highly supportive, explicit, and hands-on approach we use in literacy is applied to the teaching of mathematics.
We focus on developing a deep understanding of foundational skills, ensuring students grasp not just how to perform mathematical processes, but why they work. These skills are then applied to both theoretical concepts and real-life contexts, building practical, transferable problem-solving abilities.
We also use mathematical texts and stories as models to strengthen students’ mathematical literacy, helping them interpret, communicate, and apply mathematical ideas with clarity and confidence.
