Effective literacy teaching in children's early years at school can set them on a pathway to later academic and life success. The Better Start Literacy Approach incorporates the best practices for literacy teaching in phonics, phonological awareness, reading, writing, spelling and oral language. Completion of this course will provide participants with the skills and resources required to implement structured literacy teaching for Years 0-3 learners in their chosen kura, kahui ako or cluster.
On the successful completion of this course, students will be able to:- Demonstrate application of advanced, specialist linguistic knowledge and skills.- Interpret and synthesise assessment data (e.g., phonological awareness, alphabet knowledge, decoding, spelling, and oral narrative skills) to identify progress in response to teaching.- Critically reflect on implementation of structured literacy instruction tailored to large-group and small-group contexts for learners in Years 0–3.- Integrate specialised knowledge of early literacy interventions to identify learners requiring additional support.
