Early Years Literacy & Learning Resources
The Early Years (Ages 3 & 4) are a significant period in child's development. It is essential for Early Childhood theory to be balanced with opportunities for targeted and repeated skill development. This builds readiness for the Foundation school year. For best outcomes, play and child centred approaches need to be balanced with targeted instruction. PLD has a range of downloads, resources, seminars and products to help you implement this approach in your classrooms.
