Subject coordinator: Lesley Ljungdahl

This subject is a follow-on from the prerequisite subject and focuses on the development of reading and writing K–6. A functional view of language underpins the course. Students are actively engaged in analysing different texts and contexts and develop proficiency in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating literacy development of children K–6. Students are also engaged in reading and writing activities of their own. Through a functional approach to learning language, students come to appreciate a diversity of language contexts within a multicultural society and gain increasing facility in describing how language works, not only in reading and writing but across all of the key learning areas.
