Course Description
When educators find themselves with students unable to read, spell and write, it is easy to feel ill-equipped to deal with the specific needs of this particular group of students.
There can be a range of reasons why children enter Years 1 - 6 unable to read, spell and write. For some students, it may be poor school attendance or socio-economic factors that have impacted their schooling. For others it may be that English isn't their native language, while for others it may be that students are presenting with a lower IQ.
Regardless of the contributing factors, this short course aims to provide specialist training so those working with these students have the knowledge, tools, and skills to deliver targeted, explicit instruction to help facilitate the development of early literacy skills.
