SNAP Literacy Program

In 2024, Saint Ignatius College introduced the SNAP Program. SNAP is broken into two learning areas, Literacy and Numeracy. Participation in this program helps to ensure students receive targeted support and instruction to strengthen their foundational skills in literacy. The program involves a combination of specialised teaching methods, additional practice opportunities, and personalised attention to address each student’s unique learning needs delivered by our Literacy Intervention teachers and educators.

Over the last 12 months the SNAP team has had the pleasure of witnessing the significant positive impact the program has had on a number of our amazing students. We are incredibly proud of the effort and dedication our students show in their learning each and every lesson. We believe that by participating in this program, each student will not only improve their knowledge and skills but also gain confidence in their abilities and develop valuable reading skills that will serve them well in their academic journey and beyond.

Currently, we are in the process of establishing a SNAP Literacy mini library where students are able to borrow books targeted to their interests and reading skill needs to support them further in their reading development. We aim to have the library up and running before the end of term 1 so our SNAP Literacy students can continue to share and build upon their success at home.

If you have any questions about the SNAP Literacy Program or the SNAP Program in general, please reach out to our Literacy Intervention Teacher and program coordinator Kim Kovacev.
