Early Yearsย
The Early Years refer to Kindergarten (WA/QLD/SA/TAS) and Preschool (NSW/ACT/NT/VIC).
The Early Years are a significant period in a childโs development. For best outcomes, play and child-centered approaches need to be balanced with explicit targeted instruction.ย
In the Early Years, PLD programs focus on pre-literacy skills such as phonological awareness and the alphabet sounds, as well as fine and gross motor and oral language skill development.
Foundation Year
The ‘Foundation’ year has different names across Australia and refers to Pre-Primary (WA), Kindergarten (NSW/ACT), Preparatory (QLD/ VIC/ TAS), Reception (SA) and Transition (NT).ย
The development of literacy in early childhood and into primary school serves as one of the most crucial foundations for a childโs life. The Foundation school year is one of the most important years of schooling. This is the year that students learn to read, spell and write.
Being able to read, write, speak and listen gives a child invaluable social skills and confidence to become healthy and happy into adulthood.ย Literacy development can significantly impact a childโs career and personal happiness, through to becoming a balanced adult with all the necessary skills to cope with daily life.ย
PLD Targets Literacy & Oral Language Simultaneously
PLDโs method is derived from the disciplines of speech pathology, occupational therapy and education. PLD advocates that literacy and learning outcomes in children are maximised when their literacy, oral language, movement and motor skills are targeted simultaneously. Literacy involves more than just recognising words on a page. To be truly literate students need to be able to speak well, interpret what theyโre hearing, and transfer all of this information into written language. Itโs this broad three-skill focus that sets PLDโs resources apart.
