• Word Work- explicit teaching in phonics, morphology, etymology, handwriting and grammar.
• Reading Fluency- focus on accuracy, pace and expression
• Reading (including comprehension)- individual and group texts
• Sentence Level Writing- including sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary and handwriting.

Our teaching practices in English Instruction align with current research-based practices and aim to be data driven in order to cater to the differing learning needs of our students.
