Our school students were struggling in literacy. They were not
transferring their knowledge of writing, spelling and grammar
consistently in their work until we introduced the Step Beyond literacy
program.
At first, we trialled Step Beyond in our
stage 2 classes only. The other teachers saw the rapid improvement the
students were making. The students could see how all the literacy
components worked together. So we extended the program through the
primary grades.
Through constant assessment of what the
students could understand and demonstrate and through our own teaching
practices, the school has seen a marked improvement in literacy. This
was reflected in our Basic Skills Test results for 2007.
The Step Beyond program is a great way
for kids to explore text types and a valuable resource for teachers to
ensure that they are covering all the curriculum areas.
