Student success is always a priority at St. Marguerite. Our teachers work diligently to meet the diverse needs of every student in their classes. In addition, we offer supports such as All Star Reading, Grades 3 and 6 after school literacy and numeracy groups, and intermediate math help groups. In addition we offer an After Reading School program where the s
tudents have the opportunity to work with an adult on developing both reading fluency skills and reading comprehension skills in small groups. They do this by working on identifying and restating the main idea in a piece of writing and citing supporting details.
The students also work on a variety of strategies to determine the meaning and sound of unfamiliar words (e.g. use the context, break words into syllables or smaller words or other recognizable units like sh, ing etc.).
The program is designed to help the students consolidate their reading strategies so that they can become independent, self-directed and successful readers.
