FLI - Focused Literacy Intervention
Focused Literacy Intervention
plays a pivotal role in cultivating essential
reading and writing skills, ensuring academic success and lifelong learning.
Tailored to individual needs, it addresses specific literacy
challenges, promoting a deeper understanding
of language structures and enhancing
comprehension.
Early intervention in literacy is especially critical, preventing
potential learning gaps and fostering a strong foundation for future academic
pursuits.
By identifying and addressing literacy issues promptly, students
gain confidence and competence in communication, unlocking a pathway to overall
cognitive development. Focused Literacy Intervention empowers individuals to
navigate an increasingly complex world, fostering critical thinking,
creativity, and effective communication in diverse academic and professional
settings.
Sounds - Write
Students in Year 7 who continue to experience reading and spelling
difficulties often have gaps in their phonemic awareness, decoding, and
word-level reading. The Sounds-Write program,
a structured synthetic phonics approach,
is ideally suited for older struggling readers due to its explicit teaching of
sound-letter correspondences, blending, segmenting, and manipulation of
phonemes.
The program builds systematically from simple to more complex code
and focuses on mastery through cumulative practice. Using this in a Tier 2
context (small-group, targeted intervention), ensures that these students
receive frequent, explicit, and intensive
support, which research shows is necessary for closing reading gaps.
