The teaching of English at Chapman Primary School supports our students to understand the three strands within the Australian Curriculum; Language, Literature and Literacy. Students progressively build essential skills, knowledge and understanding from kindergarten to year 6 to appreciate, respond to, analyse and create literature. This is achieved through the development of receptive modes (listening, reading and viewing) and productive modes (speaking, writing and creating).
The Balanced Literacy Program underpins all teaching approaches at Chapman Primary School. This program ensures that students receive hight levels of scaffolding in initial instruction and modelling to less support as they approach mastery. The cyclical nature of learning ensures that all students move along this development continuum.
