Opportunities to enhance children’s learning – How your project incorporated opportunities
to enhance the children’s language and literacy
Learning Experience Analysis
Describe the learning experiences (including the initial activity of reading the storybook) and
provide a rationale for their inclusion in your project.
Also think about why you planned these particular learning experiences:
– What literacy concepts were you aiming to achieve?
– What emergent literacy skills did the children demonstrate?
– What was your role in extending the children’s emergent literacy during the learning
experience?
Your discussion should be thoughtfully substantiated by reference to a range of relevant and
current literature and linked to examples from the documentation included in your
Appendix (approx. 400 words for each experience).
