Literacy
At Surfside Primary School we understand how vital literacy skills are to support all learning areas and we consistently use evidence-based methods to ensure all students receive opportunities for optimal growth in this area. Literacy skills are a continuing priority within the school’s Strategic and Annual Implementation Plans.
Our teachers work collaboratively in Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s) weekly to plan and deliver differentiated learning opportunities to develop students’ skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students engage in daily explicit literacy activities and is supported through cross curriculum links.
Explicit teaching of fundamental knowledge and skills is at the forefront of our approach to provide the best possible environment for all students to develop the ability to read, write and understand the rules that govern the English language.
