Developing a Culture of Literacy for the Reluctant Learner
About
Developing a Culture of Literacy for the Reluctant LearnerJoin ECET for an afternoon of learning, connection, and inspiration across two unique early childhood settings.
The Nest Child and Family Learning Centre, Sorell
The Nest is a welcoming space where families and young children come together to play, learn, and connect, supported by community partnerships and services that help families thrive. At the Nest, Kim Overgaauw will welcome attendees, share some of the initiatives and supports that are part of The Nest experience, and take us on a tour of the space. This is a great opportunity to see how environments and relationships support children’s engagement and wellbeing in a community-centred setting.
Orenda Circle, Midway Point
At Orenda Circle, Hannah Colbourn will lead a presentation exploring how we intentionally support children who may be less inclined to engage in traditional literacy experiences. This session will unpack the intentional literacy program developed at Orenda, showing how we balance play-based learning with planned, structured teaching experiences to embed literacy through children’s interests, strengths, and everyday play, particularly for children who are more motivated by physical play, sensory engagement, or construction-based learning.
