Course details

Skills you will learn
More about this course
  • Are you a parent, guardian or educator wanting to encourage literacy development in a young child? This 2-week course by QUT will share research-based knowledge and skills around code-based literacy in early childhood.
  • Intentionally and explicitly teaching the relationship between letters and sounds through play-based pedagogies is an important part of your child learning to speak, read and write. Phonics helps children listen to, identify and use different sounds that distinguish words from each other in the English language.
  • The course will begin with an introduction to phonics, explaining what exactly it is, and why it's so important. Next, you'll learn the best ways to teach phonics to children in the early years, including which resources to use.
  • You'll gain an understanding of phonemes and phonological awareness, which is an understanding of the sound structure of words.
  • In week 2, you'll discover some teaching strategies and models such as play-based pedagogy, which is a type of education based on open-ended play.
  • You'll be introduced to some of the best activities to help teach children phonics, such as practicing phonemes, graphemes and reading alphabet books. We'll also discuss the ways belief can shape practice.
