NEW - Explicit Teaching Application - webinar now avaiable
The Project will explain the Science of Learning and the Science of Reading approaches following neuroscience research into how we acquire literacy skills and the practical application of this knowledge.
By the end of this Literacy Project, schools and teachers will have:
an increased understanding of Science of Reading terms, frameworks and research evidence.
trialled some practical applications of this knowledge in classrooms.
begun school-wide discussions regarding literacy practice, including resourcing for future implementation.
With a crisis in falling literacy rates across New Zealand and clear evidence to suggest we need our kaiako to change to the Science of Reading approaches - what do we replace our bits and bobs within our current literacy programmes with and why? What aspects of reading and writing/spelling do we measure/track/teach etc?
Keep up to date and find things on the Ministry's website full of Literacy resources. PLD funding info and more.
