General Policies on the teaching of reading

  • The approach to reading which is fostered is based on children’s general language development.
  • Phonological and phonic awareness play a central role in the acquisition of word identification strategies. (Cf.  School Spelling Scheme)
  • A wide range of reading material will be used throughout the year (Cf. Lists of books for individual classes)
  • Textbooks from other subjects and appropriate material from the Internet will be used to teach reading.

The approach to writing

  • A gradual development of child’s ability to write through process of writing.
  • Consistent use of drafting, editing, and redrafting – use is made of word processing to make class magazines and many of the classes are also involved in `Write a Book’ programme.
