Foundation Home Learning

Foundation students are also expected to complete approximately 20 minutes of additional literacy and numeracy learning each evening, based on their individual goals. Families may decide how to allocate this time across the week, ensuring that all goals are regularly practised. Evidence of completed learning should be recorded in the home learning notebook for the classroom teacher to review.

Your child will be given a goal card that outlines the specific leveled literacy and numeracy goals they are working on. These goal cards will be sent home in their reading pouches, allowing you to clearly see the skills your child is developing. Students are continuously assessed in the classroom, and as they progress and become fluent in each skill, updated goal cards will be sent home to show their next learning steps. 

**It is essential to note that even if your child can demonstrate the skill they are currently working on, it is important that they can complete it both accurately and automatically to be considered fluent. Fluency means they can apply the skill confidently, quickly, and without hesitation. Once this level of mastery is achieved and viewed by the classroom teacher, they will then be ready to progress to the next goal.
