Problem
• Identify a specific link to a sub-outcome under Outcome 5 from the EYLF or a content description from the Australian curriculum: English (or a state equivalent) that you think will promote children's speaking and listening skills.
• Identify a specific age group within the early years that you would like to focus on for this assignment. For example, 3 year olds in a pre-kindergarten room or 6-7 year olds in Year 1. It must be within either an early childhood setting (birth to 5 years of age), or an early years primary school setting (5 to 8 years of age).
• Describe a learning experience or an activity that educators can use to support your chosen age group's speaking and listening skills.
• Identify or use a prop in your presentation to provide further context e.g. a book, a puppet, visual aids etc.
• Explain how the learning experience or activity can support children's speaking and listening skills for your chosen age group.
• Explain how your learning experience or activity will promote the learning of your chosen age group and support them in achieving the sub-outcome.
• Present a rationale to explain why it is important for educators to include the teaching of speaking and listening skills in their literacy program. In your rationale, you must make a specific reference to a relevant theory to help support your statements.
