Literacy Focus

For the past four year the schools in Naenae have worked co-operatively to raise achievement levels for our students,        particularly in the area of reading and writing.

One of our school targets last year was to move all students at least 1/3 of the way between a curriculum level (or a sublevel) between each of the 3 assessments. (A curriculum level is expected to cover 2 years at school.) So this target was accelerated pace.

At the last assessment in November the results were as follows:

Our challenge – To ensure that these students did not slip back, so a piece of writing from the end of the year is pasted into the front of this year’s book to remind them of what they could accomplish.

Your Challenge -Questions you could ask the teacher

· How well is my child doing?

· What can they do well?

· What do they need help with?

· What are they going to learn next?

· What do you need to know about my child to help them in the classroom?

· How will the school support them?

· What can I do to help at home?

What is the best way to keep in contact about how my child is doing?
