Our fulltime literacy intervention teacher works with students in need on the five fundamentals of effective reading:
- Phonemic Awareness - hearing each individual speech sound in words, for example 'b - r - igh - t' and blending/segmenting these sounds orally.
- Phonics (sometimes titled systematic/synthetic phonics or 'alphabetics') - matching speech sounds to English symbols and codes, for example c = /k/ + /s/ and or/aw/au make the same speech sound.
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension

English as an Additional Language
Australia is becoming an increasingly multicultural country. Mont Albert Primary School is made up of learners who come from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The goals for students learning English as an Additional Language (EAL) are the same as those for native speakers, but their pathway to these goals is different. They benefit from explicit English language teaching and extra time, support and exposure to English.
To address this need, some students at Mont Albert Primary School attend EAL sessions. Through these sessions we aim to provide students with the opportunity to achieve success in learning English in order to progress in all areas of the curriculum.
An integral aspect to the EAL curriculum is ensuring that the cultural and linguistic experiences of all children are valued and individual differences are catered for.
