Multisensory Structured Literacy and Learning Differences - Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Dysgraphia
Secondary School English
Secondary School English
- Years 9 and 10
Our secondary programmes are designed to align with the content and texts taught in the learner's English classroom, or offer a traditional model of English education to learners from Innovative Learning Environment Schools. All lessons are based around the objectives set out in the New Zealand Curriculum and the exemplars. Junior high school students spend their time developing their creative writing, formal writing and essay writing skills.
Further detail:
- Students practise how to write essays about both the novel and the film they are studying in class. Tutors personally make themselves familiar with the novel or film your child is studying. This is in order to support your child to prepare for end of year exams.
- Creative writing, formal writing, speeches, static image and response to text are all taught over the course of the year too.
- Considerable time is also spent on growing students’ understanding of unfamiliar texts, as this comprises of a large portion of assessments at this level.
- Students coming from Innovative Learning Environment Schools can either follow a traditional State School model or teaching can be aligned with what is happening at their school.
Secondary School English
- NCEA and Cambridge
Our secondary programmes are designed to align with the content and texts taught in the learner's English classroom, or offer a traditional model of English education to learners from Innovative Learning Environment Schools. Senior high school students’ learning mirrors what is happening for them in class, including support in NCEA assessments throughout the year.
Further detail:
- Tutors familiarise themselves with your child’s studied written and visual texts, allowing them further opportunities to discuss areas such the ideas, themes, relationships, motifs, plots, characters and major events.
- We request up to date details on course outlines, and assessment information to ensure students work on the same standards in tutoring that they are working on at school. Time is spent developing the range of writing techniques required for each standard, so that when they sit the assessment at school students feel confident with what is expected.
- We assist students in refining their essay writing techniques, help develop their understanding of unfamiliar texts and practise writing skills which are being internally assessed.
