Little Learners Love Literacy
Building Strong Foundations in Literacy Prep to Year 2
In accordance with evidence-based literacy research, we emphasize the critical role of explicit and sequential literacy instruction right from the outset of your child’s education journey with us. Our primary objective is to ensure that every Foundation classroom provides a robust phonics program, offering children the optimal opportunity to become proficient readers, writers, and spellers.
At our school, under the leadership of our literacy co-ordinator Pania Malesevic, we implement the Little Learners Love Literacy® program, a structured and engaging approach designed to deliver focused, explicit lessons. This program incorporates a variety of activities such as games, crafts, music, puppets, drawing, and more, ensuring that learning is both systematic and enjoyable.
By integrating these methods into our curriculum, we aim to cultivate a love for literacy while equipping students with the essential skills they need to succeed. We are committed to fostering a supportive learning environment where every child can thrive academically and develop a lifelong passion for reading and writing.
Together, we are laying the groundwork for your child’s future success in literacy and beyond.
