Our Approach at Goodwood Primary School to support literacy learning

At Goodwood Primary, we are committed to making sure our students receive the literacy support they need—when they need it. That’s why we use an evidence-based approach called the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

MTSS works to help our students’ learning with our school’s phonics program with appropriate level of supports. For example;

• Tier 1 is for all students in Prep, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3.  Student group together for whole class phonics instructions.
• Tier 2 is for students who need extra time and practice with specific phonics skills work in smaller groups.
• Tier 3 provides one-on-one support for some students who need more to help with specific literacy skills.

This system ensures that every student gets the right amount of help at the right time.
