Description
Join internationally respected educator and author Lisa Burman for an inspiring two-day workshop that reimagines literacy in early childhood settings. Grounded in the belief that every child is a powerful communicator, this session explores how bookmaking, story tables, and rich literacy experiences can transform your classroom into a vibrant community of storytellers and meaning-makers. Through hands-on provocations, collaborative inquiry, and reflective dialogue, educators will learn how to nurture children’s identities as readers and writers while aligning practice with the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0, Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines, and the WA Curriculum.
Outcomes
- Explore bookmaking as a literacy-rich practice that supports children’s authorship, narrative development, and identity formation.
- Design and implement story tables that invite oral language, imaginative play, and collaborative storytelling.
- Strengthen literacy planning by embedding authentic, child-led experiences that align with EYLF V2.0 learning outcomes—especially Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators.
- Connect literacy provocations to the Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines, supporting inquiry-based learning, multi-modal expression, and cultural responsiveness.
- Develop strategies to foster a literacy environment that values children's ideas, supports diverse learners, and encourages deep engagement with texts.
- Reflect on the educator’s role in co-constructing literacy experiences that are inclusive, intentional, and grounded in relationships.
