The scope and sequence for English at our primary school, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, provides a structured framework for developing students’ literacy skills across reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Beginning with foundational phonics and vocabulary in the early years, we progressively introduce more complex texts and genres, encouraging critical comprehension and analysis as students advance through the grades. Writing instruction focuses on developing clear and coherent texts, with an emphasis on grammar, punctuation, and creative expression. Speaking and listening activities promote effective communication skills, fostering confidence and collaboration in various contexts. Throughout the curriculum, we incorporate rich, diverse literature and real-world applications to engage students and enhance their love for language, ensuring they are well-prepared for future academic challenges.
At our school, we enthusiastically implement the Little Learners Love Literacy program to enhance our students’ reading and writing skills from an early age. This engaging, phonics-based approach is designed to build strong foundational literacy skills through interactive and multisensory activities. In the classroom, teachers use a variety of resources, including storybooks, phonics games, and hands-on activities that encourage students to explore sounds, letters, and words in a fun and meaningful way. The program emphasizes systematic phonemic awareness and the development of essential comprehension strategies, allowing children to connect sounds to letters and build confidence in their reading abilities. By fostering a love for literacy through captivating stories and playful learning experiences, Little Learners Love Literacy not only equips our students with the skills they need for academic success but also ignites a lifelong passion for reading.
