At Thornlands we aim to offer our students MORE (Making Our Results Excellent) by focusing on building on the previous year's achievements. This acts as a platform for the next year and beyond. For a snapshot of some of the amazing work that happens at Thornlands, please click the below links.
Leap Into Literacy (P-2)
Leap Into Literacy is a structured, cumulative, multi-sensory and evidence-based method of teaching reading whereby students are taught the link between letters and the speech sounds they represent. Our students learn sounds (phonemes) are represented by letters (graphemes). We teach children that phonemes can be blended and segmented to read and write words. This is a bottom-up approach in that instruction starts not with whole words but with the most basic sound unit, the phoneme. The reading process involves decoding words into separate sounds that are blended together to read an unknown word.
