National Early Language and Literacy Strategy: Discussion paper

This discussion paper outlines the objectives and priorities of a National Early Language and Literacy Strategy based on the evidence review undertaken between March 2019 and June 2020. The review included peerreviewed literature, existing national and international strategies, policies and programs, in addition to previous work undertaken by the National Early Language and Literacy Coalition. Its content will frame the co-design by the Working Group of a draft National Strategy. Considerations and questions are highlighted throughout to structure input and discussion on:
Priorities: key focus areas
Targets: key outcomes to be achieved or aimed for in each focus area
Responses: mechanisms to be leveraged (e.g. services, policies, engagement strategies) to achieve targets.
