The course introduces you to reading and writing models, theories, and approaches in Australian contexts. The teaching of reading and writing is adapted according to developmental needs, giving consideration to phonics, fluency, whole language approaches, neuroscience, and critical literacy. Developmental progressions in oracy, reading and writing are explored, and effective instruction techniques are practiced, including auditory and visual processing strategies. Systems for meaning making are studied alongside strategies for differentiation. Students learn how to assess a Year One student’s reading and writing competence, evaluate the recorded evidence and propose ways to improve the student’s reading and writing at text, word, and letter level.
