Early Years Literacy

The Early Years Literacy Program is a strategic and comprehensive approach to early literacy achievement in the first five years of schooling
(Prep to Year Four).

The Early Years Literacy Program's essential features are:

  • a daily, focused two-hour classroom literacy session,
  • case management of students who require additional assistance,
  • strategically planned home/school partnerships,
  • the identification of an Early Years Cordinator
  • whole school commitment.

Meadow Heights Primary School provides one to one support daily for these students in addition to the two-hour daily literacy block.  Reading Recovery is implemented for students in year one who need additional assistance.  Group Intervention is organized for students in their year level who require assistance.

The Classroom Helpers is provided each year for parents, helpers and aides who assist in early years classrooms.  It consists of five interactive sessions which are to be conducted by teachers and in linked to the classroom literacy program.

Sessions include:

  • Being a helper
  • Helping with speaking and listening
