JUST READ Since 2015, we have had a particular focus on literacy at Queenwood, with the QLiteracy Committee developing a school-wide vision for ensuring all girls develop a life-long passion for reading. In 2019 this program was embedded with the introduction of a timetabled reading period from Kindergarten to Year 12. The focus is on reading a physical book of fiction, which has been shown to support the greatest improvements in literacy growth and learning. Reading fiction becomes a great pleasure that supports wellbeing, especially once reading is fluent and the habit is formed.
