Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual

Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual

Year Level: Early Years

The Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual outlines what to teach and when to teach it sequence over a full year for Literacy, Oral Language and Movement & Motor. The manual provides week-by-week guidelines including professional development options and essential PLD evidence-based programs.

Keep in mind that it may be appropriate for schools to adapt the timing of the skills depending upon the demographics of the school community and the associated student entry levels to the school.

We recommended, following a solid period of repeated targeted instruction as outlined in the PLD Early Years Teaching Sequence Manual, screens are administered to check in on progress. The Early Years Screening & Tracking Manual, which outlines step-by-step instructions including what and when to screen, the materials required, time allocations and discontinue rules is also available to download.

As a support to the Early Years Screening & Tracking Manual, PLD has recently released Early Years Tracking Sheets Videos which outline how to create the three targeted teaching groups.
