Student learning support

Children learn in different ways, and at different rates. Being flexible and developing teaching plans to cater for individual students at their point of need is crucial in facilitating their reading development.

Find out about supports that are available to help you target the needs of the children in your classroom, and to scaffold their learning. In particular, discover information and resources to help you cater for students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, and those with learning or language difficulties.
