Approaches to Oral Language and Reading Development in Primary School

ED2194 - Approaches to Oral Language and Reading Development in Primary School

This subject aims to provide Early Childhood pre-service teachers with an understanding of how oral language supports reading development in young children. Pre-service teachers explore theories and approaches to supporting early language and reading development and consider the implications for practice. Pre-service teachers examine the shape of the Australian Curriculum: English and the Early Years Framework for how they frame a variety of literate practices and children&#39;s communication in sites of early learning. Pre-service teachers also engage in a range of assessment practices to diagnose, assess, monitor, provide feedback and plan for children&#39;s reading events. Topics covered in this subject include components of spoken language, development of the emergent and beginning reader, the role of adult-child interaction in children&#39;s language learning, concepts about print and books, knowledge of the alphabet, phonemic and phonological awareness. Pre-service teachers plan sequenced learning experiences with the ultimate goal being that children from diverse backgrounds will become effective readers and communicators. This subject includes an embedded 10-day Professional Experience placement to enable observation, reflection and practical implementation of the learning(s) in this subject.
