Introduction
This unit builds on the theoretical foundations of EMT506 (Foundations of Primary English and Literacy) and will extend your understanding of literacy instruction with a more detailed theory of language context model which supports reading comprehension and writing production. Further to this there is a strong focus on the teaching of reading and viewing of literary texts, where text selection and differentiation takes centre stage.
