The NSW Centre for Effective Reading (NSW CER) provides a provision in which students who demonstrate low progress following evidence-based reading instruction will receive additional support.
Referral information is used to determine the level of support a student requires.
Universal indirect support
All NSW primary schools can access information and resources through this website. NSW CER also provides access to online professional learning throughout the year.
Targeted direct support
Targeted assessment and intervention supports are available to students attending eligible rural and remote primary schools. These students are accepted for direct support through a referral process each semester, where eligible schools submit a referral requesting support.
Students may be allocated for support through hubs located at Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Manly and Westmead. Students may be requested to attend Dubbo, Wagga Wagga or Westmead sites for assessment. Assessments may be provided remotely.
Students accepted for support through the Westmead hub may be requested to attend the Child Development Unit, Westmead Children's Hospital for assessment.
