Subject coordinator: Rhondda Brill
This subject develops an understanding of current theories of language and literacy learning and their implications for literacy learning from early childhood to mid-primary. Students examine children's early reading and writing behaviours, formulate guiding principles for the design and implementation of a literacy curriculum for this age range, and design and evaluate strategies for the teaching of literacy from early childhood to mid-primary.
