We have early literacy intervention programmes that help Year 1 and 2 children who need further support to make accelerated progress.
Daily small groups, with specially trained teachers, are provided for a short time alongside classroom instruction.
At Turuturu School, we are proud to have an active literacy programme.
Mrs Greig is a trained structural literacy teacher.
We have around 15 children currently on the Tier 2 Better Start Literacy Programme.
Turuturu School prioritises early literacy support ensuring that our Year 1 &2 children who need it, get the additional boost to be successful.
Caregivers of the children involved do need to agree to being engaged in the programme, supporting at home. We need caregivers support to be truly successful.
Children involved in this programme make remarkable accelerated progress.
Planning is underway to extend the BSLA approach into Years 4 to 6 and this will start later in the 2025 school year.
