今天SMH的报道【The ABC of lessons in literacy】

在悉尼西区的Granville的Blaxcell Street Public School的老师们发现，当他们在教学生们英文的时候，有很大的语言上的挑战要克服。

学校的副校长Justin Caban说：“我们有97%的学生是来自于非英文母语背景的家庭，当孩子们来学校的时候都是从来没有在家里说过英文。有很多家庭里甚至没有一本英文书。

所以在过去的两年里，教师员工们一直在努力让学生加强英文的学习而提高他们的综合能力，现在成果已经显现。

Caban先生说：“Premier's Reading Challenge的读书计划是我们学校在英文提高举措里的重要一部分。我们有45%的学生在英文阅读（理解）和综合能力上比正常所要求的学习期望落后一年。“

作为学生努力学习的奖励，澳洲广播公司（ABC）的Adam Spencer和Dymocks Children's Charities的Don Grover访问了这个小学，Grover先生还捐助了价值5000刀书给学校的图书馆。

6年级的小学生11岁的Selim Karakus说，学生们从学校加强阅读的举措中受益。”我们正在比过去快的多的速度和大的多的数量学习，这已经给了我们动力去读更多的书。”

Premier's Reading Challenge是新南威尔士州政府的一个读书运动，主要的合作伙伴有Dymocks Children's Charities，由OPSM和Sun Herald资助。

.TEACHERS at Blaxcell Street Public School in Granville have big language challenges to overcome when teaching English to their students.

''Ninety-seven per cent of our students are from non-English-speaking backgrounds and come to school with zero English spoken at home. Many have no English books at home,'' deputy principal Justin Caban said.

So, in the past two years, staff have been ''saturating'' students with literature to improve their comprehension, and the results have begun to show.

''The Premier's Reading Challenge has been a huge part of this,'' Mr Caban said. ''We had 45 per cent of students go from being a year behind in their reading and comprehension to be in the expected range of learning.''

As a way of rewarding students for their efforts, ABC broadcaster Adam Spencer and Don Grover from Dymocks Children's Charities visited the school, with Mr Grover donating $5000 worth of books to the school library.

Selim Karakus, 11, who is in year 6, said students had benefited from an increased focus on reading. ''We are learning more and learning faster than we used to. It has given us motivation to read more books.''

The Premier's Reading Challenge is a NSW government initiative with principal partner Dymocks Children's Charities, supporting partner OPSM and media partner The Sun-Herald. Buy a Premier's Reading Challenge Sun-Herald subscription for $30 and Fairfax Media will donate $10 to your child's school.
