Literacy

Literacy is an integral part of all curriculum subjects. At capital city academy we aim to develop a life long enthusiasm for learning and develop students proficiency in all literacies.

Literacy is fun. During the year students will take part in a range of activities that promote reading.

Students access to subject specific vocabulary is essential for academic success.  A sound knowledge of subject key words enables students to write competently and to speak confidently about their learning.
