Description

Research has shown that supporting young children’s language and literacy development is a practice that leads to strong readers and writers later in life. During our time together we will learn about some research-based strategies that support language and literacy development, and plan how to do this through inquiry and play. Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with other Early Years teachers and share resources; with an aim to create connections and enrich practices.

As a result of participating at this institute, attendees can expect to:

  • Gain an understanding of what Language and Literacy development looks like in the Early Years.
  • Have a toolbox of strategies and practices to support oral language development and early literacy skills.
  • Plan ways to assess and implement Oral language strategies through play and inquiry.

Target Audience: Early Years Teachers and Instructional Assistants
