PREP PROGRAM SEMESTER ONE
ENGLISH
Students focus on establishing the foundation for English learning by developing skills in reading, writing and speaking and listening. Prep students are expertly guided through an evidence based systematic synthetic phonics program that will build the foundation of letter sound relationships that all other reading builds upon. This will ensure they learn name of each letter of the alphabet and the sounds they represent in words. They are then able to apply this to their reading and writing. Through shared book experiences and individual literacy activities, students practise comprehension strategies to develop their ability to understand and think deeply about what they read and write. They are encouraged to participate in small group and whole group discussions, sharing their ideas and reflecting on their learning. MATHEMATICS Students continue to develop a range of number concepts. They explore numbers and practise counting from various starting points. Students order numbers from smallest to largest and make corresponding sets up to 20. Students create and copy patterns using shapes, objects and pictures. They sort and classify common two dimensional shapes such as squares, rectangles, circles and triangles and recognise three dimensional objects in the environment. Students order the days of the week and describe events which occur during the day and night. They continue to explore maths in real life contexts, applying their knowledge and understandings to a range of learning experiences.
