LANGUAGE  LED  LEARNING

Language Led Learning provides a range of professional development services in a multitude of settings. Specialising in assisting children to transition to school, Language Led Learning recognises the value of play and the importance of phonemic awareness; marrying the two in engaging sequenced learning streams. Programs include an array of EYLF, VEYLDF and ACARA and VCAA aligned activities and tools developed in response to specific needs, encompassing social-emotional, oral, motor and emerging literacy skills. Language Led Learning uses research to inform practices that address the needs of children from EAL backgrounds, whilst incorporating the learning needs of students with dyslexia, ASD and other diverse abilities. Working with educators to provide children with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, Language Led Learning maximises the potential of play-based learning experiences to build confidence and competence in a multitude of literacies.
