Every school and team is different and we're all on different stages of our science of reading journey - but one thing will be consistent between us - we're all thinking ahead to 2023!
In this blog our Little Learners team have gathered a few tools to support you to review your 2022 literacy instruction and plan ahead for an even bigger and better 2023. Don't hesitate to contact us for support - our team is here to help - on chat, email, phone every day - and now you can also book Zoom appointments.
Reflect, Review and Plan
What went well this year? What will you build upon and what will you leave behind? We've gathered some key questions to consider as a team - professional learning, resources, assessment & data, literacy curriculum and approach.

Literacy Block Planning
Are your F-2 literacy blocks covering the Big Six - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, oral language, vocabulary and comprehension? Plus spelling and handwriting?
Your block doesn't have to teach each area discretely - download the LLLL Teaching and Learning Routines Overview to see what you are teaching when you include our routines and resources in your literacy block.
Following explicit teaching routines and a robust cumulative scope and sequence will help reduce cognitive load for students and save time for teachers. Read more about planning with LLLL here.
