This program takes place in Semester 2, is designed for all Prep students and runs in conjunction with our Step Up program. It provides an excellent opportunity for students to participate in small-group, targeted instruction aimed at enhancing their reading skills.
The primary goal of the Prep Boost program is to develop automaticity in recognising letters and recalling sounds, decoding words, and improving fluency, all of which are essential for building strong reading comprehension. The program focuses on reducing cognitive load and fostering success through an approach that is explicit, sequential, systematic, and multisensory.
The organisation of the program is overseen by our dedicated Step Up teachers. Sessions will run three times a week, each lasting 30 minutes. All Prep classes participate in these sessions, which take place in the Step Up classrooms.
