Structured Literacy Approaches PLD

Teaching Literacy Through a Structured Approach Years 0-8

The Tātai Angitu SLA programme and facilitation team has been Ministry of Education approved to provide structured literacy PLD in years 0-8. If you would like to register your interest in joining us for Cohort 7, please click on the following link:

Our PLD

supports kaiako to build knowledge and practice for a structured literacy approach across the school, years 1-8;

builds on the foundational code knowledge, advancing into complex spellings and morphology for decoding and spelling multisyllable words;

builds vocabulary knowledge through morphology and word meanings, based on words from popular texts used in classrooms across levels;

builds sentence knowledge for comprehension and writing using a method developed by our team and successfully implemented in classrooms; and

builds knowledge of paragraphs and whole texts so students can successfully read and write longer forms.
