We are a home based institute run by experienced Phonics teachers. The teaching is very personalized, with almost guaranteed results. We love reading at our school.
We have daily guided reading sessions in all classes and our teachers record our progress as we read. We also have homework diaries and our teachers write comments to our parents about our reading.
Our mums and dads come along to our Parent Workshops to find out about how to support us at home with our reading and to learn how to fill in our reading/homework diaries. We are expected to read at home every night and to bring our book bags to school every day.
We have Reading for Pleasure boxes in every class. We can choose books to read and we change the books in this box regularly. Sometimes we even bring books from home in to add to this box.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Here you will find my personal educational philosophy. I have focused primarily on what I imagine as the end product of my teaching and the qualities that I would like my students to gain from their educational experience.
