Literacy

At St Gregory the Great Catholic Primary School, English is taught at each student’s individual point of need. We aim to provide our students with the skills necessary to thrive in an ever changing world. Each day there is a focus on developing student skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. Lessons are structured with a shared focus for the whole class and then smaller group instruction, which supports all students in developing their specific needs.

Ongoing assessment takes place in order to inform group focus. We strongly encourage students to reinforce the reading skills they have learnt at school by developing and maintaining a regular home reading habit. Every student has the right to make progress in their learning and to ensure this, our school offers early intervention through Reading Recovery In Year 1 and the Levelled Literacy Intervention (LLI) program for students in Year 2 to Year 6. Support across the curriculum is also provided to students through the assistance of our amazing Learning Support Officers (LSO).
