Children's literature, storytelling and the arts

What it covers

This unit uses creative approaches to develop your knowledge and understanding of English discipline specific content. You will learn how to develop personal literacy through integrated approaches and an explicit focus on reading recovery and language development across reading, writing, speaking and listening. You will explore a wide range of literature suitable for children and engage with various approaches to storytelling and language arts, including digital and cross-arts storytelling. You will develop your skills in English and literacy including how to critically analyse texts, how to select and present literature for children and methods of integrating language arts across the curriculum. By developing your own English communication skills as story makers and tellers, you will gain the ability to design pedagogies for engaging children in literature and developing literacies through storytelling and to develop literacy leadership.
