Throughout every learning community at Hartwell, our students are taught a range of differentiated speaking and listening skills throughout all areas of the curriculum. Language is a developmental process a child learns to speak, then they learn to read and finally, they learn to write. Oral language underpins all areas of Literacy and is a huge aspect of our teaching philosophy at Hartwell. Below is a link to ‘how to support your child with their reading’. We strongly encourage and support our parents to maintain a regular home reading routine with their children. Reading is explicitly taught every day through a program called FAME (Fluency, Accuracy, Making Meaning and Exploring Vocabulary) which incorporates all strategies and skills that need to be taught in order for the students to become balanced and highly effective readers. Show and Share: Presentation-how the writing actually looks on the page.Sentence Fluency-the rhythm and flow of the language.Excellent Word Choice-the vocabulary a writer chooses to convey meaning.Organisation-the internal structure of the piece.Voice-the personal tone and flavor of the author's message.Writing is explicitly taught every day through a program called VOICES, which are identified as evidence based writing traits that students learn in order to become highly effective writers.
