According to where they place on this diagnostic test, they undertake a targeted phonics program designed to cater to their level of need and which offers additional support with their reading.<\/p><p>We have chosen the Abigail Steele Phonics program as it is age-appropriate for secondary school students. It aims to empower our students with the foundational skills needed to become confident readers and proficient communicators.<\/p><p>By addressing the specific needs of each student identified as needing a phonics intervention, we ensure that no one is left behind in their educational journey, reinforcing our commitment to\u00a0providing\u00a0the opportunity for all students to broaden their futures.<\/p><p>Abigail Steel phonics sessions take place 3 times a week for 20 minutes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f943dc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f943dc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Lexia<\/strong><\/p><p>SCA also caters to those students who have been identified through GL English and NGRT baseline assessments as needing additional support with their reading but for whom phonics intervention is not appropriate.<\/p><p>For these students, we offer the Lexia PowerUp computer-based intervention program, which focuses on further enhancing their students\u2019 word study, grammar, and comprehension skills.<\/p><p>Lexia is an invaluable resource that assists students in strengthening their reading and language proficiency.
