Literacy program

The YOU CAN SIT WITH ME Literacy Program has been designed to support marginalized, migrant, humanitarian entrants, First Nations and struggling students who are isolated due to limited language and literacy skills. Through the development of language and literacy students are able to be included in classroom discussions, activities, games and more.

The program has been designed and written by global educator Sophie Sparks who is passionate about inclusive education and experienced Teacher Librarian Sonja Holden, incorporating beautiful books with tailored activities (linked to the National Curriculum) that teach both verbal and written literacy skills along with fine motor skills.

Reading really is magic, it holds the key to unlocking the amazing world of words, connecting students to endless stories. Through literacy, students become more involved in their everyday activities either at school or at home, and it is vital for communication, education and inclusivity.

By participating in the YOU CAN SIT WITH ME Literacy Program the students will gain confidence, feel included and participate in activities. This program will help minimise isolation and enable children to communicate with others and have the courage to ‘have-a-go’ at reading and language skills in a safe and comfortable learning environment.

Celebrating inclusive education.
