Words their Way

Home learning expectations

Students are expected to engage in sustained silent reading at home for at least 10-20 minutes per day. They are expected to use the online learning Mathematics curriculum: Mathletics to practise, rehearse and embed knowledge of concepts taught in the Stage 2 classroom. Teachers will modify tasks for individual students so that students are working within their ZPD: zone of proximal development.
