Strategies to use when volunteering in the classroom
What is the Classroom Helper Program?
The Classroom helpers’ program is a program designed for teachers and parents to work together to assist children in the development of:
- Reading
- Writing
- Numeracy skills
How do I become a classroom helper?
Please see your child’s teacher if you are available to assist in the classroom. Once you have communicated a time with your child’s teacher, each time you visit the school to assist in the classroom you will need to sign in and out at the front office through Compass. Please note, we cannot accommodate younger siblings when volunteering in the classroom.

If a student is struggling:
- Give them time to try
- Provide two prompts

- Inferring (prior knowledge + evidence from text = inference)
Other discussion points:
- Talk about the story
- Ask questions
- Encourage students to show you evidence from the book
- Discuss the characters
- Link to prior knowledge
Supporting Early Writers:
- Draw and talk about your ideas first

- 5 take away 3 is 2
