Literacy Development: Activity Plans for 3-5 Year Olds

This assignment outlines three learning activity plans designed to promote literacy and language development in children aged 3 to 5 years. The first activity focuses on tracing letters to introduce children to the alphabet and develop fine motor skills. The second activity utilizes puzzles, including building blocks and word hunts, to enhance problem-solving abilities, creativity, and ICT skills. The third activity explores the five senses through visual aids, ICT resources, and practical exercises to heighten children's awareness of their surroundings and foster pre-linguistic and linguistic language development. Each activity plan includes age group, learning objectives, resources, focus concepts (Visual literacy and ICT), curriculum connections (EYLF and Australian Curriculum), and references, providing a comprehensive approach to early childhood education. The assignment emphasizes the importance of visual literacy and ICT in facilitating effective learning experiences, aligning with the principles of the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum.
