Targeted Literacy and Numeracy Intervention – Small Group Learning

Delivering small group learning in primary settings

Funded schools must provide structured small group literacy and numeracy programs with a documented sequence of lessons to address learning gaps of identified students. Delivery of small group learning in primary settings may be funded through the Literacy and Numeracy Early Intervention Program (LNEIP) or the Koorie Literacy and Numeracy Program (KLNP).

Teachers delivering small group learning are encouraged to refer to the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model 2.0 to inform their delivery of small group learning, including using explicit teaching practices and systematic synthetic phonics to teach reading in F–2. Teachers delivering small group learning are also recommended to draw upon guidance on supporting students with diverse learning needs as relevant. Refer to the Resources tab for further guidance and useful links.

Includes information on providing structured small group literacy and numeracy programs.
