Approaches to Oral Language and Reading Development in the Early Years

ED2094 - Approaches to Oral Language and Reading Development in the Early Years

This subject aims to provide pre-service teachers with an understanding of how oral language supports reading development in Primary students. 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 for how it frames the three Literacy Strands: Literature, Literacy and Language. 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 transition of the child from home to school, 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 students from diverse backgrounds will become effective readers. This subject includes an embedded 10-day Professional Experience placement to enable observation, reflection and practical implementation of the learning(s) in this subject.
