Early Literacies Six Week Course

3rd May to 14th June
Literacy is fundamental to learning and creating a more inclusive society. In this six-week course, you’ll delve into literacy and think about how to support it in the early years (birth to 5 years old).

Literacy has been a focus at local and national levels, particularly in the early years, as an effort to build a more inclusive and equal society. In this unit, you will explore literacy’s implications on everyday lives, consequent alternatives and some of the current practices that have emerged in the approach to literacy. Throughout, you will reflect how a consideration of literacy can support a shared concern with social justice.

During this course you will:

·      Identify the role of schooled approaches, e.g. reading, writing and vocabulary, in common understandings of literacy 

·      Focus on the role of everyday, taken-for-granted spaces in literacy   

·      Explore how literacy can be understood in emotional, social, and physical ways 

·      Understand the relationship between language, literacy, culture, and background.
