Learning and teaching support material (LTSM)
The following LTSM will be provided in 2010 for use in 2011:
Workbooks for Grades 1 to 6 will be provided free of charge to all schools by the national Department of Basic Education. Details about the number and content of the workbooks will be provided to Western Cape schools in October 2010.
Selected reading schemes in English for the Foundation Phase will be provided to all schools with Xhosa as the LOLT in the Foundation Phase. The WCED will provide English FAL reading schemes for Grades 1 to 3 for the Xhosa schools to assist the introduction of the FAL as a subject from Grade 1. However, schools are also encouraged to purchase their own LTSM from norms and standards in order to supplement these reading schemes. If you would like details about these reading schemes, please contact your Foundation Phase curriculum adviser.
Reading schemes for Grades 1 to 6 in the Home Language of each school will be sent to the 250 schools on Lit/Num training programmes in 2011. If you would like details of these in order to plan for 2011, or to purchase, if you are not one of the designated schools, please contact your Foundation Phase curriculum adviser.
Mathematics textbooks for all Grade 4, 5, 6 and 7 learners will be provided to all schools. The WCED has selected the titles to be provided. However, if you have already ordered this book, you must inform your Intermediate Phase curriculum adviser and you will be given an opportunity to order another textbook of the same price and this will be provided by the WCED.
