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.
