Casebrook Intermediate provides an engaging and comprehensive literacy programme.

Our teaching and learning strategies are designed to improve the learning outcomes of all students.

Throughout the year, students will engage in and enjoy various forms of reading and writing while developing their literacy skills. Students will learn to effectively understand, use, and respond to oral, written, and visual language in meaningful contexts. Literacy learning is integrated into all aspects of the Casebook Intermediate curriculum.

Writer's Toolbox is used as an online tool to support our explicit teaching in writing. This programme allows students to develop a deeper awareness of their writing craft, enabling them to use specific sentence structures, vocabulary, figurative language, and paragraph styles.
