Research is clear that becoming a skilled, confident reader during the first few years at school has a direct impact on a child’s well-being and school outcomes. To ensure that these early skills are mastered by the end of Grade 3, The Learning Bar developed the Confident Learners Literacy Program.
Confident Learners - Unlocking each child's potential
Advancing Literacy Outcomes
Confident Learners spans three years and provides an explicit and structured approach to systematic reading instruction. To support schools and districts in their unique needs we provide two different models of the literacy program:
Focused on building educator instructional capacity, this literacy program includes essential professional learning courses, The Learning Bar’s curriculum for teaching children to read, over 280+ lessons and activities, and finally continuous assessment to support evidence based decision making.
This whole school approach to supporting literacy outcomes includes the key components outlined in Confident Learners Foundations, but also a leadership development program that prioritizes student learning, capacity building of school staff and continuous school improvement. In person literacy coaching is also an integral part in which literacy coaches support the analysis of data and guidance on targeted instruction based on results.
