Literacy & Numeracy Services

Literacy

Our teaching approach is a highly supportive, explicit method which teaches effective skills and strategies in reading, grammar, spelling and writing.

We focus on meaning as the starting point and the support for students struggling to decode words in their reading, and we link this meaningful reading and strategies for spelling closely, as they transfer from one to the other in both directions. The text used for these also becomes the model text for teaching explicitly about language and writing.

Numeracy

The same very supportive, explicit and hands-on approach used in literacy teaching is used to focus on an understanding of the foundational skills of mathematics. These skills are applied to theoretical and real-life situations to build practical problem solving strategies. Mathematical texts and stories are used as a model for developing a student’s mathematical literacy.
