This online seminar aims to provide an outline of PLD’s implementation within a school from Foundation (Kindergarten) to Year 6.
The online presentation outlines:
- The seminar begins by outlining the explicit pre-literacy skill teaching that is recommended early in the Foundation (Kindergarten) school year. The presentation of these preventative programs aims to get as many young learners off to a positive start to their literacy acquisition.
- The scenario in which a proportion of students can enter Year 1 and 2 at a pre-literacy level is also explored along with the recommendations for programs, explicit teaching, programs and skill development tracking assessments.
- The seminars explores how to assign and track the development of early decoding and fluency. These measures inform the students who require decodable reading books.
- PLD’s Stages 1-6 are explained, along with the associated assessments for the junior, middle and upper primary.
- PLD advocates for three targeted teaching groups on the basis of placement tests. This is explained using sample class testing results.
- This seminar provides a scope and sequence and process that is practical, realistic, and time-efficient to implement and will cater for advanced, average, and delayed students.
