There is a huge emphasis placed on the importance of literacy in Virgin Mary Girls' N.S.. A comprehensive range of strategies and programmes are in place at all levels in the school, with the goal of enhancing the children's language and literacy skills. First Steps helps teachers address current literacy challenges in reading, writing, and speaking & listening.
First Steps provides teachers with tools that help them assess and monitor pupils needs. It also provides explicit links as to how to help children in the class improve their literacy skills.
In Virgin Mary Girls' we have been implementing the First Steps Writing since the 2007-2008???? school year. We are currently exploring the Recount genre of writing at all levels, where children get to tell their news, and recount the details of a range of factual and fictional events.?????
