Reading / Writing / Math Homework Support

TCS has reading, writing, math & homework supports for students:

Extra Literacy Instruction (grades 1-6)

- In grades 1-2, teachers may refer students for Early Literacy Instruction (ELI) - extra one-on-one or group support 2 or 3 times a week.

- In grades 3 and up, teachers may refer students for extra group literacy support.

AP - Alternate Program to French (grades 4-6)

- Students who struggle with English, reading, math and/or homework completion, are sometimes given extra support through the Alternate Program to French. Decisions about changes to second language programming are made in consultation with parents and the Learning Team.

TASK (grades 7-9)

- All Junior High students have a TASK time twice a week in which they can get do homework and get support from an Educational Assistant.

Intensive Reading/Math Support

- When students have more significant reading/math needs, teachers may refer them to the Learning Support Teacher for evaluation and/or intensive intervention and remediation.
