English Skills Reading Program
Greensborough College is committed to delivering educational programs that meet the needs of a wide range of individual abilities and interests. As part of this Greensborough College offers a Year 7 English Skills Reading Program.
The program we use is Macqlit, it is a structured, explicit small group reading intervention for older low-progress readers, covering phonemic awareness (hearing and manipulating the individual sounds in words), phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
At our school, it runs as a small group intervention program at Year 7 and aims to build students' accurate and fluent word recognition, helping them close the gap so they can read grade-appropriate texts with confidence.
