T2+Literacy

. "Popular movies, often considered a threat to reading, have now proven to be a powerful ally." -Dr Alice Killackey Two classes in the school are trialling this reading programme to see how effective it is for the best readers and the readers significantly behind in their reading age. It has been found that watching subtitles is one part of the positive effects on reading achievement. When this is coupled with direct literacy learning activities the reading improvement can be doubled. Students show significant improvement in reading comprehension, listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, word recognition, decoding skills, and overall motivation to read. Development of research skills are an additional benefit. This comprehensive programme will be our focus for this term.
