Our literacy expert Marc Milford shared a literacy framework that he had researched as one that could potentially support our learners in their journey to become better readers. Green Bay High School had been identified by the Ministry as a school that had effective practices that got kids ready for CAA and had supportive teacher practices that caused shifts in their practice (link here for the Green Bay High example).
They seemed really on to it and the Science of Learning and Reading has been embedded in their school like our RISE values are at our school.
One of the strategies that students have identified as helping them was called 'a literacy system' that has been embedded across the school. Below is one of their posters and also a copy of Marc's notes that he has shared with staff.
NCEA Common Assessment Tasks
Green Bay High School’s structured literacy approach
Key Points:
the Green Bay example is looking for teacher consistency in conveying reading skills.
Students ask, how do I approach a text, what do I do next.
Teachers asked, how can our strategies be inclusive of all students
how can our approach be informed by the science of learning and the science of
reading
how can we engage in deliberate acts of reading instruction
