At Wallarano Primary School we believe Literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning. Our goal is to ensure all our students are confident in all areas of Literacy, which encompass Speaking and Listening, Reading and Writing.

Today’s students need a strong foundation in literacy to be innovative, adaptable and responsive, and to develop the knowledge and skills the future will require of them.

Students who have developed strong literacy skills, as well as critical and creative thinking skills, are well-placed to succeed in all areas of the curriculum, and will have the capabilities to flourish in the careers of the future.

Wallarano Primary School’s Literacy strategy aligns with the Victorian Curriculum for English.

The strength of the program lies in its essential features:

· Two hours of Literacy instruction every day which include explicit teaching and small teacher focus groups.

· Reading support programs offered for students include MiniLit, MacqLit and WRAP.
