So what is Structured Literacy?

Have a read of our Structured Literacy @ Te Mata information Sheet.  This helps you to understand what Structured Literacy is and how we support our learners from New Entrants to Year 6.

Want to know more .....

Don't hesitate to get in touch with your collaborative space teacher!

This video from Emma Nahna will help you to learn and understand:

1) What all the consonant and vowel phonemes (sounds) of NZ English are; and

2) How to say them clearly when you are supporting beginning or struggling learners to hear and use the sounds during phonological awareness, reading and spelling.

If you want to jump past the explanation to the 44 sounds, skip to 2:17.
