National Literacy and Numeracy Week: 1 - 7 Sept 2008
This year’s theme - Partnerships in Learning - acknowledges the strong bond that schools have with parents and communities when it comes to teaching literacy and numeracy to our children.
It is the most rewarding of partnerships because it sets our children up for life.
We’re achieving great results in literacy and numeracy in NSW, and this week allows our schools and students to take pride in their achievements and aim even higher.
The NSW National Literacy and Numeracy Week website shows short videos that explain how we are improving student results in literacy and numeracy, and how we measure student performance. These videos are available from 1 September at with the opportunity to participate in forums with experts.
One particular video - What is NAPLAN? - provides a good explanation of the new national assessment program. Translations of the transcript are available in audio and written form on the website, in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese.
A range of parent/carer support booklets is available that help build children’s literacy and numeracy skills. These are also translated into six languages other than English.
There is also a Kids’ Link where children can build on their literacy and numeracy skills using secure websites.
National Literacy and Numeracy Week is a chance for everyone to get involved and tell our students and teachers what a great job they’re doing.
