Literacy Block Programme

Dear Parents,

I would like to share some information with you regarding the Literacy Block Programme which was initiated in 2006. The primary objective of this programme is to arouse the boys’ interest in reading independently after experiencing the enjoyment of being read to.

1. Literacy Block is carried out once a week for 1 period (starting from Week 3, Wednesday, 23 January 2013).

2. During the thirty-minute session, a parent volunteer (Reading Mum or Reading Dad) will read a storybook to a group of five boys.

3. In the following week, the RM or RD will conduct an activity with the boys using the SPUR (Super Passionate Ultimate Reader) booklet.

4. Each group will be given a storybook to be read over two consecutive weeks. A different storybook will be provided fortnightly.

5. The reading session will be conducted outside the classroom but within the school compound.

On behalf of the boys in 1Goodness, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the seven mothers and one father who have kindly volunteered to serve as our Reading Mum and Reading Dad. Thank you very much, Mummies and Daddy! I am sure the boys would look forward to seeing you every Wednesday morning!
