This session will involve an overview of various commercial Reading Schemes in different schools and how they impact upon the school library, with two schools highlighting their processes.
By Reading Scheme, we refer to such levelled schemes as Lexile, AR (Renaissance), Star, Fountas & Pinnell. Representatives of schemes will not be attending, as this PD is for our members to have an open discussion, and to share ideas unhindered by supplier presence.
Scotch College will be able to host this event as a face-to-face gathering by adhering to the current WA social distancing "2-square-metre rule" as well as practicing good hygiene See: https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/covid19-restriction-checker/gatherings-and-work/wa
Due to these restrictions, we will be limiting this meeting to a total of 30 attendees.

In response to schools transitioning to remote teaching and learning due to COVID-19 concerns, AISWA Libraries wishes to support all school library staff to be able to continue to provide the best digital library services they can to their school community.
We have created a page of links to various free educational resources that are available or that have recently become freely available for a period of time. We hope you find this page helpful to provide your staff, students and families with a range of online resources to support learning at home.
