Literacy

At Glebe we strive we encourage progress in Literacy by adopting a cross-curricular approach, developing reading and writing opportunities in all subjects. Students participate in class discussions which enables practice of their communication skills, specifically listening and responding to others'. Currently Glebe is working on raising the profile of reading across the school by introducing appropriate and stimulating texts to morning Literacy sessions with tutors and expanding the school's participation in the Accelerated Reader programme to all year groups. To ensure this ethos runs through every aspect of school life, "recommended read" displays are appearing in the hallways and even the staff room!
