What does it take to build strong foundations in literacy where children not only learn to read, but read with fluency, understand meaning, develop vocabulary, and express themselves through writing? How can everyday classroom practices bring these elements together in a coherent and engaging way?
In Episode 2 of LLF Speaks Season 2, Dr Shailaja Menon, Consultant, Education Portfolio at Tata Trusts, joins Ramesh Chandra, Director, Academics at the Language and Learning Foundation, to discuss how evidence-based teaching–learning practices can support children in building reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary and writing skills in an integrated manner. The conversation explores the foundations of literacy development, the role of emergent literacy, and the importance of a print rich environment in early classrooms. It also reflects on how children’s literature can be used to deepen reading engagement, and how structured and creative writing experiences can support children in expressing their ideas with clarity. Designed for teacher trainers and academic leads, with insights for school leaders and practitioners, this episode brings together research and practice to focus on what effective literacy instruction looks like in the classroom.
