Children also participate in Group Reading in small groups of up to approximately 6 children, which can be of mixed ability or grouped according to ability. Children make use of class readers, which are graded according to difficulty. There are a number of boxes in each stage and each book is colour coded and numbered. The children are given a chart which they use to record the books read. Parents are encouraged to listen to their children read and sign the chart each day a book is completed.
Teachers sign when a book is returned to the box.
Each child has a Record Book in which to record answers and individual progress. The School House is a graded phonic programme used in Grades 1 and 2. Teachers make use of comprehension activities, group work, cloze procedures, and multiple choice questions. Grade 3 pupils are taught the rules of the library, how to practise alphabetical order etc. A full syllabus is available from the Head of Junior Primary.
