Reading and Writing Project

 

Causeway Bay Victoria Kindergarten & International Nursery's commitment to the most leading-edge, research-based literary program makes us proud to be a project school for Columbia Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP).

 

The Columbia Teachers College Reading and Writing Program’s purpose is to foster a life-long love of reading and writing, and to inspire children to be avid readers and writers. Time is given each day for active and purposeful engagement in reading and writing. One of the most important aspects of the program is the concept of choice. The students themselves choose what they want to read and write about, ensuring that they are active participants in their learning.

 

The Reader’s & Writer’s Workshop ensures balanced literacy as there is daily practice of read-alouds, guided reading, shared reading, phonics, independent reading, interactive writing, shared writing and word study.

 

The Project ensures quality teaching by offering professional development to teachers. As a project school, an experienced trainer from TCWRP will come to work with the Causeway Bay Victoria teachers on the best practices and state-of-the art tools and methods.
