Building Literacy Skills (Level 3)

Our Building Literacy group builds on early literacy skills in fun activities drawn from evidenced-based approaches including Sounds-Write. This intensive group is a great way to boost early reading and spelling skills.

Skills covered will include:

  • Review of spelling and reading CVC, CVCC, CCVC & CCVCC words (i.e. cat, next, flag, stomp)
  • Spelling and reading short and long vowels
  • Spelling and reading with common consonant rules (i.e. c vs ck, double letters)
  • Spelling and reading compound words (i.e. cupcake, hotdog)
  • Sit and attend in a small group setting for 10 minutes
  • Sound phonemic awareness skills (syllabification, rhyme, initial and final sound identification, chaining)
  • Consistent letter sound awareness (short vowels, consonants and digraphs e.g. ng, th)
  • Able to read and spell simple CVC words (i.e. cat, pig), CCVC/CVCC words (i.e. flag, nest)
  • Able to read and write some short sentences using the above words CCVCC words (i.e. clamp, stomp).
  • Use sentences to communicate needs, wants and ideas
  • Independently move around a room without the need for physical support
  • Follow simple 2 step instructions and above
  • Independently perform self-care activities including toileting, hand hygiene and dressing post toileting
  • Able to separate from parent/carer and participate in group activities for 2-3 hours
