Supporting Every Student’s Literacy Journey: Our Approach 

At our school, we’re committed to making sure every child and young person receives the literacy support they need—when they need it. That’s why we use a consistent, evidence-based approach across all Department schools called the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). 

Here’s how MTSS works: 

• Tier 1 – For all students: Every child is taught to read using proven, evidence-based teaching strategies. 

• Tier 2 – For some students: Those who need extra time and practice with specific literacy skills work in smaller groups. Once they’ve mastered the skill, they return to Tier 1. 

• Tier 3 – For a few students: These learners receive one-on-one support to help them learn specific literacy skills, alongside the learning in Tiers 1.

This system ensures that every student gets the right amount of help at the right time. Whether it’s extra practice or individual support, MTSS is our way of making sure no student is left behind in their literacy journey. 

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how  your child’s learning is supported, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.
