Region 5 - PTKLF Language & Literacy Development

The domain of Language and Literacy Development includes two complementary subdomains: Foundational Language Development and English Language Development. The Foundational Language Development subdomain covers the foundations of language and literacy development in any language a child may be learning. It is designed for use with all monolingual and multilingual children. The English Language Development subdomain is designed for use with multilingual children who are learning English as an additional language around the time of entry in an early education program.

Learning Outcomes:

• Review the PTKLF Language and Literacy Development (LLD) domain for children aged three to five-and-a-half years.
• Introduce key developmentally appropriate strategies highlighted in the LLD domain.
• Explore how the PTKLF is representative and inclusive of children's cultures, languages, and lived experiences.
