LiteracyLiteracy 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. Students also develop their skills through access to excellent materials, an understanding of the exams they are sitting and plenty of practice. There are a number of excellent educational sites dedicated to exactly these principles and the following resources will help students with all their subjects across the curriculum. Revision guides and web sites are also an invaluable tool for learning.
