Sounds~Write is an evidence based phonics program utilising an exciting and highly successful approach to the teaching of reading, spelling and writing. The program is developmentally appropriate for beginning readers and also offers fast and highly effective intervention for children at all levels who have fallen behind in their reading and spelling.
Reading and writing is a juggling act – to perform well, students need strong vocabulary knowledge, good spelling skills, firm understanding of grammar and the ability to organise their ideas logically. As a result, some students struggle to become successful readers and writers – even when they have wonderful ideas! This program is designed specifically to improve a number of skills that are crucial for reading and writing; namely, knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension strategies. These eight sessions are based on high quality instructional approaches, including Word Aware, Talk for Writing and Sounds~Write. This course is designed for students who are looking to continue developing their vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension.
