Oral Language Foundations to Keep Students on Track
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.

Resource Toolkits
Educational resources for the classroom, the clinic and the home
Tracks to Literacy have a range of resources available for whole class, small group and individual instruction and intervention, covering all areas of oral language.
Our toolkits are easy to use, engaging for students, and specifically designed to make the translation of research evidence into practice easy for teachers, speech pathologists and parents.
Our toolkits can be stand-alone, or form part of a whole school approach to instruction for oral language, reading, writing and social emotional mental health.
Coaching
Modelling, observing, reflecting and collaborating
Using a supportive, collaborative and professional approach, the Tracks to Literacy team can provide mentoring and coaching to teachers, education assistants, speech pathologists, principals, deputy principals, and parents with a focus on oral language, literacy and social skills.
Both Rosemary and Laura have been trained in Growth Coaching International, peer coaching, peer mentoring and reflective supervision, and bring with them decades of leadership experience with a focus on capacity building in schools.
Coaching models are co-designed with you and your staff to best fit your specific school context. Coaching can be implemented individually or in small groups, face to face and online.
