As literacy support is recommended to be done for 4 to 5 times for each unit, it has been difficult for teachers to cover all the suggested activities. Is it mandatory for all literacy support activities to be conducted? ]]> 2022-11-09 07:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie_tan_yu_shan/l2to08zu7bgpq0if/wish/2376361069 https://padlet.com/minnie_tan_yu_shan/l2to08zu7bgpq0if/wish/2376367476 how do you manage lit support while ensuring the other children are engaged... wouldn't you need to oversee the other kids as well?

If so, does this child engage in the same activity as the LSG or a separate activity that is at his/her level instead? ]]> 2022-11-09 07:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/minnie_tan_yu_shan/l2to08zu7bgpq0if/wish/2376370698 Low attendance https://padlet.com/minnie_tan_yu_shan/l2to08zu7bgpq0if/wish/2376376996 For children who have low attendance, what is recommended to help them catch up?

May I ask how can the teachers be supported in improving our skills? What about teachers who are new? How can they be empowered?
