Literacy at Taramoa Strathmore School 2024
We have introduced Structured Literacy to help our tamariki to 'crack the literacy code'.
We are happy with reading and writing results, but we are always looking to make things better for tamariki. We have chosen 'The Code, developed by literacy specialist Liz Kane.
Structured Literacy is like a road map for teaching reading and writing. It's all about breaking things down into simple steps and giving kids easy strategies to become awesome readers and writers, no matter where they start from. It's like a superpower, giving tamariki the tools and confidence they need to conquer reading and writing, which let's face it, can be tough.
Imagine a classroom buzzing with excitement as kids discover the magic of words coming to life on the page, thanks to the structured approach of literacy instruction.
