Literacy

Our dynamic Literacy program empowers young learners to unlock the magic of language through a systematic synthetic phonics approach. With a curriculum designed to inspire a lifelong love of reading and writing, we cultivate critical thinking, communication skills, and a deep appreciation for the power of words.

At the heart of our curriculum lies a proven method that systematically teaches children the relationship between sounds and letters, laying a solid foundation for literacy skills that will last a lifetime. Through engaging activities, interactive games, and personalized instruction, our dedicated educators guide students through each step of their reading and writing journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

With a focus on phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and fluency development, our systematic synthetic phonics program ensures that every child progresses at their own pace, building upon their strengths and addressing their individual needs. Whether your child is just beginning their literacy journey or refining their skills, our comprehensive program caters to all levels and abilities.

Beyond phonics, our English Program offers a rich and immersive learning experience, where students explore literature, expand their vocabulary, and express themselves creatively through writing. Students engage in regular discussion about text and learn to master advanced reading comprehension strategies, empowering them to delve into complex texts with understanding and insight. Their Writing skills are developed through daily modelling and practise, with teachers guiding students in crafting compelling narratives, persuasive essays, and creative expressions, equipping them with the tools to communicate effectively and express their unique voice. Our approach to Literacy at Wattle View is highly differentiated and engaging to ensure that students’ individual needs, interests, and abilities are catered for.
