Early Literacy (ELI) & Early Numeracy (ENI) Programs
The Early Literacy and Early Numeracy programs are division wide programs, designed for grade one and two students. The goals of these programs are to develop skills and enhance students’ abilities and successes in literacy and basic numeracy. Both programs are student-centered and focus on strategies that the student is able to bring to the reading and writing process and basic numeracy operations. Students are picked based on teacher recommendations and then assessed by the E.L.I. or E.N.I. teacher to make sure they fit the program criteria. The E.L.I. and E.N.I. programs run all year and are split into two terms, with each group of students receiving the intervention program for one term. Students in the program receive individualized teaching, with the goal of reading, writing and using these numeracy strategies taught to help them when in class.
