At Cedar campus, we have some great supports in place to help children in their learning. The classroom helpers program is up and running for another year, with parents supporting in the Literacy block in F-2 classrooms. Parents help with a variety of activities; including swapping readers, listening to children read, supporting with sight words and letter sounds and sentence writing.
Mr Nick has been running MiniLit Literacy intervention groups 4 times a week with groups of students in the lower years. The MiniLit program focuses explicitly on phonemic awareness, synthetic phonics, fluency, and connected text reading.
We also have our wonderful group of Educational Support staff across F-6 who work in classes and with small groups of students supporting in all subjects and also focussing on Literacy and Numeracy skills. It’s great to see so many children engaged in learning and building confidence as their skills develop when encouraged and supported by our staff.
