This unit introduces the theoretical and pedagogical essentials of language and literacy education in primary classrooms.

A range of literary, non-literary and multimodal texts, including picture books, children’s literature novels and factual texts will be studied as resources for literacy pedagogy. Students will develop their understanding of how to implement relevant syllabus documents through a range of teaching/learning strategies which promote children’s composing and comprehending written texts.
