Given my limited
exposure to the childcare sector I think it is important to source as much
information, resources and materials in order to maximize both the students and
my enjoyment in the subjects of literacy and numeracy.
Below are some websites
that I have enjoyed using thus far in my career.
The website of the South
Australian Department for education and child development has a very
informative site specifically for the English language and literacy in the
birth to eight age range. They have a
framework that describes children’s knowledge in literacy and language skills
utilizing assessment examples and criteria of evidence. This is useful for
educators when observing and assessing children’s literacy in the first years
of school.
This website has the “Child development tracker” which gives an insight on a child’s stages of growth from one to eight years old. They go into depth about
·
Approaches to learning
·
Creative arts
·
Language
·
Literacy
·
Mathematics
·
Physical health
·
Science and
·
Social and Emotional
Growth
There are other subheadings in the site including information about Education, fun and games, food and fitness, parenting and many more. I personally enjoy this site since it is easy to follow and understand, I think it is ideal for all parents to read and use as a resource.

The next two sites give example lesson for maths and English from foundation to year 6 so it is important to remember the age that you will be focusing on and ensuring that the activities are age appropriate.
As additional resources I
have used the course text books and found them to be informative and helpful in
my experience as a childcare professional.
