Absolutely.
Because you're picking up all of those words that if you're just learning a language, you might be at very basic level vocabulary, but in your home language, you have that much more rich exposure to those words.
In terms of literacy, structured literacy, as you mentioned earlier, is one of the changes that has been brought in.
A lot of schools were bringing it in in various stages before that.
How have you found that?
Has it been quite a big change for you?
Yeah.
What impact have you noticed?
And interesting that you say that it's been an ongoing process of review and as to, I guess, you know, how is this working?
Is it being done well?
What does well look like?
Because
I think maybe for parents to understand that when you've got this big change that makes it, correct me if you disagree, but all the more important to kind of understand what's happening in the classroom so that you can best support that because with any changes, nothing's going to be perfect at the beginning, right?
And I guess I'm just reflecting on my previous comment, too, and don't want it to sound like, you know, it's like, oh, you have to keep on top of teachers or something to make sure it's going right.
It's more about...
being able to identify too if your child is having challenges so that you can have those conversations with teachers as well so that, you know, there's a, I guess, a well-rounded view of how your child is feeling about school and how they're progressing.
What would be your message for those people who are
I guess, reading everything about what is going on with the changes.
Some people might feel anxious about the pace of change that keeps getting talked about.
Some might feel like, oh, is my child going to be caught up in a change that might not work well for them?
