Kōwhiti Whakapae - Early Literacy

In this interactive and practical workshop, participants will look at the three elements of early literacy (oral language, early phonemic awareness and print knowledge and preparing to write) and ways to engage Tamariki with these important skills. We'll also unpack the new Ministry of Education resource: Kōwhiti Whakapae.

• Understand the elements of early literacy and what this looks like in an early childhood setting

• How to plan for early literacy practices in a Tamariki lead learning setting

• How to observe and notice early literacy progress and how to plan for next steps
