SUPPORTING EARLY LITERACY
Presented by Fran Bastion, KU Professional Learning Consultant
Literacy learning as a concept in context with the early learning service is both complex and
dynamic. It is strongly influenced by the expectations of the Early Years Learning Framework,
cultural values and personal experience. This course will explore theories of literacy
development, supporting the recognition of the importance of a literate environment. Such
environments enable rich literacy practices that supports children’s emerging competence in
