This course introduces student teachers to the foundations of literacy teaching in the junior primary classroom (Years 0–3). Students examine how oral language, reading, and writing develop and learn how teachers design literacy learning that supports early reading and writing success. The course explores key components of early literacy instruction, including phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, handwriting, and early writing, and considers how assessment information informs teaching decisions. Student teachers also examine culturally responsive, inclusive, and evidence-informed approaches to literacy teaching that honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and affirm learners, whānau, and communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.
