Red School supports and implements the Aboriginal Literacy Strategy

The strategy is designed to ensure that students are immersed in a rich text environment and that their teachers provide them with a range of focused, evidence-based and engaging learning experiences which lead to improved English literacy, with a particular emphasis on Reading, Writing and Speaking and Listening outcomes.
Phase of Development
Resources are typically relevant, but not exclusively, for:
  • Early Childhood
  • Middle Childhood
  • Early Adolescence
The program is designed to reduce the English literacy gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students. Students in the program undertake a daily literacy session including the explicit teaching of phonics.

Key Benefits/Outcomes

  • Increased professional development opportunities for teachers, principals and AIEOs.
  • Coordinated approach to the teaching of literacy in remote areas.
  • Improved literacy outcomes of Aboriginal students.
