Early Years: Kindergarten (WA/QLD/SA/TAS), Preschool (NSW/ACT/NT/VIC)
The Early Years are a significant period in a child’s development. For best outcomes, play and child-centered approaches need to be balanced with explicit targeted instruction. 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.
What should literacy development in Kindergarten/ Preschool include?
In early literacy, PLD’s programs focus on literacy skills and strategies such as phonological awareness and the alphabet sounds, as well as fine and gross motor skills, movement and oral language skill challenges.
It’s important to define literacy in education by using set topics, recognising the different stages of each strategy;
- Phonological awareness includes; syllable blending and segmentation, initial sound awareness and blending.
- The alphabet sounds used in developing early literacy include; alphabet sound knowledge (lower-case letter focus), alphabet sound recall (for reading), and alphabet formation (for how a word is spelled).
- PLD’s Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP) alphabet letter of presentation order is matched with the letter formation order, promoting literacy development. In this way, when learning the alphabet sounds, students are simultaneously learning to write alphabetic fluency.
