Language Learning
Literacy based on the Australian Framework and curriculum: Like all early childhood education institutions, our centre’s teachers focus on each child’s interests and abilities, setting corresponding courses and themes according to the Australian early childhood teaching guidelines and child development guidelines. We encourage children’s listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities to help them become confident communicators.
Thrass and Hot Words
Thrass is a highly acclaimed English foundational teaching program suitable for children of any age. Through the training of 44 phoneme combinations, children can quickly improve their word recognition, pronunciation, and spelling skills. Many primary schools have started promoting its use. In our preparatory semester classes, teachers use game-based activities to learn Thrass with children every day. Hot Words, developed by Ms. Joanne Tierney, is supplementary work based on a large amount of Thrass training and teaching practice. It helps children extend their Thrass learning while allowing parents to participate. We are grateful to Ms. Tierney for sharing and appreciate her contributions to early childhood education.
