Improve your school's Literacy and Numeracy with these great ideas

There has been a lot of coverage in the media about the value of the NAPLAN Tests. Many schools have used the NAPLAN Tests to monitor the programs they have put in place to improve the literacy (spelling, grammar, punctuation, reading comprehension, persuasive and narrative writing) and numeracy abilities of their students. Is your school in the list provided by ACARA? Read your story. If your school is not shown in the list, read some of them and find out what could be done in your school to improve literacy and numeracy.
