Here at St Joseph’s Payneham, we offer a one-on-one reading and writing intervention for students considered at risk in literacy acquisition in their first year of school.
Students are selected for reading intervention based on individual measures of assessment and teacher judgment, helping support students achieve their full potential. Their classroom literacy program is then supplemented with daily one-to-one lessons of thirty minutes, with the series of lessons running for 12-20 weeks with a trained teacher.
The lessons consist of a range of experiences designed to help children develop effective reading and writing strategies in ways that suit them. Reading intervention continues until the child can read within or above the class average and has demonstrated the use of independent reading and writing strategies.
