Portfolio Week 6 - Continuum First Draft

For Numeracy, I've been trying to adapt the Geist continuum from the custom book to the purposes of this course. The difficulty is that the course covers up to 4 years whereas the continuum in the textbook covers only to age 3. So, I will need to source additional material. In the meantime though, here is my first draft:



I have found a fantastic resource for my literacy continuum from the DECD, called 'English language & literacy, Birth–Age 8, Planning for learning. It is split into three parts as follows:





Each of the above section also has a large number of examples, so I find it highly practical. These are split into three subsections as follows:

1) Language

2) Texts and Contexts


3) Strategies

  1. Thank you for sharing these fantastic resource. I am trying to development the continuum around the big concepts I had constructed like for literacy I have phonology, gesture, print concept,and receptive language. Although it is different from the DECD developing according to reading, writing, speaking, and listening, this resource gives me a clear model that I can follow up.
