Our HB Literacy programme for the Term 3 has several components.
*Daily Oral Language and Listening lessons where we unpack stories selected by the tamariki.
*Daily Structured Literacy groups where we create strong connections between oral and auditory language and it's written counterparts. Each lesson offers opportunity for review of previously learnt material, acquisition of new knowledge, practicing of skills for both encoding and decoding of letter/sounds that are being worked on within the ākonga's current stage, and reflection of skills already learnt.
*Bi-weekly Structured Writing Lessons that unpack and learn and write about "The Gruffalo". We do use the Colourful Semantics visual aids to unpack sentence composition, sentence structure, punctuation and word knowledge that is derived from The Writing Revolution Framework.
*A link to technology where students complete phonics activities related to their SL groups as well as listening comprehension activities as well as the Word Chain app for students beyond Stage 1.
