This learning area and wāhanga ako are not the final versions, they are drafts that will continue to be refined with your feedback.  

We intend to release the draft English learning area for Years 0-6 on 26 August. We are strengthening some areas of the teaching sequence following feedback received from ERO’s independent quality assurance process and from teachers and kaiako. You will have four weeks to provide your feedback through until 20 September.

We have made significant progress so far, thanks to the hard work of many people, and now is the time to seek broader perspectives as we continue to make improvements.   

Please have a read, share this with whoever may be interested and please, let us know what you think.
