Course Description
The EARLY YEARS are a period of significant potential learning. It is essential that balanced within an early childhood framework key skills (for later literacy and learning) are developed. The explicit instruction of phonological awareness, alphabet sounds and oral language is imperative. Within this course ‘age-appropriate’ (i.e. fun, engaging but rich and clear) learning experiences will be demonstrated with PLD programs and also with general resources.
How much explicit instruction is required? Three or four three minute explicit instruction sessions each day, in addition to short one-minute progress checks.
PLD supports play, socialisation, inquiry, activities, child-centred approaches and some direct development of key skills that set up young children for success within the education system. Read More.
