Literacy Lift Off is an intervention that gives children lots of opportunities to read books at their own level of competency and gradually lift the complexity of what they can do in both reading and writing.

In Effin National School, we strive to develop a life-long love of reading in all our pupils. The gift of reading allows children to experience a whole world of excitement and opportunity.

The Literacy Lift Off programme is implemented in all classes from Junior Infants to Second Class. The school has invested in high quality fiction and non-fiction books to supplement the delivery of this programme.

During the Literacy Lift Off session, children participate in a variety of teaching stations including:

New Book Station

Familiar Book Station

Writing Station

Oral Language/Word Work Station

iPad Station: Phonics and Spellings
