Read It Again – FoundationQ
This week, we are starting a new Oral Language Program, developed by the Department of Education. Read It Again – FoundationQ! is a curriculum-aligned program and is designed to support the Australian Curriculum by fostering foundational spoken language and emergent literacy skills. It provides a systematic, explicit, and flexible approach to building students' abilities in four key areas:
- Vocabulary: Expanding students' word knowledge.
- Narrative: Enhancing storytelling and comprehension skills.
- Phonological Awareness: Developing the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language.
- Print Knowledge: Understanding the relationship between spoken and written language.
By engaging students in repeated readings of carefully selected storybooks, the program deepens students' understanding and enjoyment of stories, reinforcing language skills through repetition.
Please see the attached flyer and above video for more information about this exciting new program starting in Prep this week.
Thanks everyone and have a wonderful week!
