MY SCHOOL Website

The MY SCHOOL website is now operational www.myschool.edu.au. Did your school score poorly on the NAPLAN tests?
  • Children with dyslexia take this test along with their classmates.
  • They are often unable to complete many of the literacy and numeracy tasks because of their dyslexia.
  • This will affect the school overall scores.
Children diagnosed as dyslexic can receive extra help for these tests.

Best time for testing

QUESTION: When is the best time to test a student for learning and literacy problems, including dyslexia?

ANSWER:
  • NOW if your child is in Years P - 3 and cannot keep pace with other children in basic literacy such as recognizing sight words and learning phonics.
  • NOW if your child is in Years P – 3 and handwriting and spelling are major problems.
  • NOW if your child is in Years 4 – 7 and reading is slow and/or comprehension is poor; if spelling is always a struggle and if they are reluctant to write.
  • NOW if your child is in Years 8 – 12 and they are unable to demonstrate their knowledge and ability in writing; if reading is slow and their written work does not match their verbal skills.
  • NOW if your child is in Years 10, 11 or 12 and they need support to manage their school work, especially assignments and examinations.
  • NOW if you are worried about your child’s progress at school.
  • NOW if the thought of a new school year and the homework battle fills you with dread.
