Structured Literacy Approaches PLD

Our PLD 

• supports kaiako to build knowledge and practice for a structured literacy approach across the school, years 1-8; 

• builds on the foundational code knowledge, advancing into complex spellings and morphology for decoding and spelling multisyllable words; 

• builds vocabulary knowledge through morphology and word meanings, based on words from popular texts used in classrooms across levels; 

• builds sentence knowledge for comprehension and writing using a method developed by our team and successfully implemented in classrooms; and 

• builds knowledge of paragraphs and whole texts so students can successfully read and write longer forms.
