Teaching is designed using educational research and cognitive science. At Tarneit Rise Primary School, we ensure our students achieve maximal time on task and we maximise what we do with that time. We build a reading brain in each student through explicit direct instruction, repetition, teacher fidelity, and time on task. We know teaching reading is not just about phonics but is underpinned by phonics and phonological awareness, reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.
Our community works together to ensure every child has a positive, happy, and rewarding school experience. Families and teachers are genuine partners in the learning process, ensuring our children strive to achieve their personal best and show kindness towards others.
