As we move through Term 3, it has been wonderful to see the continued growth and development of our students through the Little Learners Love Literacy phonics program across Prep – Year 2.
Little Learners Love Literacy is a structured, evidence-informed phonics program that provides explicit and systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding and word knowledge, helping our students develop the essential skills for reading and spelling.
Recent assessments have shown very pleasing progress across all year levels, reflecting the continued development of our students’ phonics knowledge and early reading skills. Our recent Year 1 Phonics Screening assessment was particularly encouraging, with results showing pleasing improvements compared with last year.
This progress highlights the impact of our consistent, explicit phonics teaching and the wonderful effort our students are putting into their learning. Thank you to our families for supporting literacy learning at home and helping our young learners become confident and enthusiastic readers. We look forward to continuing to build our students’ confidence, knowledge and love of literacy.
