Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

This unit focuses on pedagogical and content knowledge that informs the learning and teaching of early literacy in the junior / primary context. This unit utilises an inquiry-based approach in which students collect, analyse and use evidence to reflect on, plan and justify their approach to early literacy teaching and learning. Students draw on research based evidence to inform their thinking and practice in relation to assessing, planning and monitoring early literacy learning. A range of approaches, strategies and resources are investigated in order to create an effective early literacy learning environment. The unit highlights the importance of creating an engaging and differentiated early literacy curriculum that takes account of the diversity of children’s needs. Making connections between children’s social, cultural and linguistic experiences and school-based learning experiences is emphasised.
