It has been interesting to read through the first phase "Common Practice Model" that has recently been put out by the Ministry of Education as part of their curriculum refresh. The section is talking about the beginning of primary schooling and is potentially describing a curriculum based on the science of reading.
This section is from the "Strengthening Explicit Teaching in Literacy and Communication" section. Here is a link to the full document: Phase 1 - Common Practice Model
Kia Ora Rebecca, I found this quite interesting and informative as well. Thank you for posting this in your blog. I just glanced through the MOE website and I strongly agree in order to teach diverse cultural background students, we need to strengthen our explicit teaching strategies. Well done you!
