We’re thrilled to share that Repeated Reading is now being implemented across all Year 7 and 8 English classrooms! This evidence-based strategy is designed to improve students' reading fluency, accuracy, and comprehension — key skills for lifelong learning.

Repeated Reading involves students reading the same passage aloud several times, either individually, with peers, or with teacher support. This practice helps build confidence, enhance word recognition, and develop smoother reading expression. Research shows that regular repeated reading can lead to significant gains in both speed and understanding.

Teachers will be incorporating this strategy into their weekly routines, using a range of engaging and level-appropriate texts. Students will also track their own progress to celebrate their improvement and set goals.

We’re excited to see how this approach supports our students in becoming more fluent, expressive, and capable readers.

Have you noticed improvements at home? We'd love to hear from you!
