Description

Literacy is a journey. Children make meaning from letters, numbers, and symbols and begin to understand patterns from birth. This module looks at the key elements of literacy and the practical ways it can be woven into everyday moments, rich environments and fostered with children from the earliest years.

After completing this course, you will:

  • consider early childhood philosophies that view the development of literacy skills as part of a life-long journey from birth
  • understand your role as an educator and how the environment can support pre-literacy skills and dispositions
  • identify the importance of the role of choice and enjoyment in developing literacy skills in the everyday.
