The Preschool Literacy program is co-designed with and delivered by the University of Melbourne to improve and support your literacy teaching practice within play-based learning programs. The program focusses on the key aspects of language and literacy learning: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The program will provide you with practical ways to engage children in language and literacy and promote language and early literacy learning within your preschool program.
There were many ‘aha’ moments in the Preschool Literacy program. We all have a swag of ideas to take back to our sites!

Applied learning
Throughout the program you’ll complete a number of applied learning activities that will support you to transfer your theoretical learning into practice. The primary applied learning task will be your project that you’ll discuss on the final day of the program. Throughout the program you’ll be supported by your facilitators and university coach to develop, implement and evaluate your project.
Expert coaching
You’ll be allocated a university coach throughout the program who will support the development and implementation of your applied learning project. The university coaches will work with you to:
- assist with forming and developing your applied learning project
- monitor the progress of your project
- provide advice on conducting and modifying (if necessary) your applied learning project in preparation for your final day of the program.
