Professional Learning

High-quality literacy instruction is most effective when it provides systematic and explicit teaching across the key components of reading. This includes phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency - of high-frequency words, vocabulary - including sight words, oral language and reading comprehension. Integrating these interconnected areas within a structured and balanced approach supports the development of accurate, automatic and fluent reading, while also strengthening language and comprehension skills. Together, these foundational and higher-order skills provide children with the knowledge and strategies needed to become proficient, independent and confident readers.
