Content

This is the third in a 4-unit sequence designed to prepare contemporary primary school teachers of language, literacy and literatrure. This unit examines the development of speaking and listening, reading and writing, and viewing and creating in the middle years of primary schooling (years three to six). It explores print literacy development in the middle years of school, together with a range of broader literacies, including digital, multimodal, and visual literacies.

In this unit, pre-service teachers engage with a variety of literacy learning theories, assessments, and pedagogical approaches, learning to justify how, when, and why to utilise different approaches across their classroom programs. They learn to plan effective lessons, units, and programmes for diverse middle years language, literacy, and literature learners.

Through weekly blog posts, pre-service teachers make connections between their unit understandings and their personal literacy learning, and practice ethical and professional online communication.
