Early Literacy Outcomes
Participants will:
- Identify the processes involved in acquiring literacy;
- Describe the type of learning experiences encountered by the child at school; and

- Utilise a range of strategies to support beginning literacy learners.
- Access a variety of text to meet students' needs and interests.
Course Costs
The standard price of the ELC course is $90, however sometimes courses are available at discounted rates when external funding is available.
