Whole School Literacy Plan

Whole School Literacy Plan

Implementing a Whole School Literacy Plan (WSLP) has consistently shown to enhance student outcomes. This plan aligns the efforts of the staff under one unified vision. For students, this means consistent instruction as they move through different classes and progress from one year to the next. When every teacher in the school follows the same literacy strategy, it leads to improved academic performance across the entire school.

 

Whole School Literacy Plan

By integrating PLD programs into a Whole School Literacy Plan (WSLP), schools can establish consistent practices across classes and grade levels. This approach significantly enhances literacy outcomes throughout the entire school.

PLD offers a downloadable WSLP booklet that outlines how to incorporate PLD’s programs for literacy, oral language, and motor skill development into each primary school grade level. Each page provides suggested timelines and implementation guidance, along with references to the essential programs
