Literacy
At St. Aloysius’ School, Literacy development is one of our highest priorities. Developing competency in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening is obtained through careful planning, targeted teaching, formative and summative evaluation of student performance, and regular professional learning for our staff to ensure contemporary approaches to teaching are maintained.
St Aloysius implements OLSEL (Oral Language Supporting Early Literacy) throughout the school. This prioritises vocabulary, phonological awareness (sounds within words), story grammar (how writing is structured) and complex questioning. Smart Spelling is a program run throughout the school supporting all students. Writing curriculum is taught using ‘Bump it up Walls’ where students self-assess their progress and teachers provide feedback for improvement. We have a daily Two hour Literacy block from 9am till 11 am where uninterrupted reading and writing learning takes place.
