Literacy

The English program at Preston North East is based on the Victorian Essential Learning Standards and the Early Years and Middle Years of schooling initiatives.

At Preston North East, we believe that literacy is the key to learning and success in later education and in everyday life. Literacy skills underpin success in all other learning.

Preston North East regards the acquisition of strong literacy skills as essential. Students must learn to communicate effectively through reading, writing and speaking and listening.

At Preston North East, we provide students with four sessions per week of intensive Guided Reading sessions and four sessions per week of intensive Guided Writing sessions. Our Speaking and Listening program is underpinned within our Reading and Writing sessions.

A full time Early Years Literacy Coordinator has been appointed at Preston North East to provide classroom support in the Early Years classrooms and four sessions of intensive Reading Intervention for the year one to four students who require additional support in reading.
