The Early Years Advantage: Building Strong Foundations in Literacy and Numeracy 

• Free e-book: Build stronger foundations with evidence-informed literacy and numeracy strategies

  Literacy and numeracy are often approached as separate priorities. Yet research shows that their development is closely connected—and that strengthening both during the early stages of learning can help establish the foundations students need for future success.

  This free, research-based e-book provides school and education system leaders with evidence-informed insights to help shape early learning priorities, teaching practices and investment decisions.

  Download the e-book to explore what neuroscience, longitudinal studies and classroom research reveal about building strong foundations in literacy and numeracy.

  Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build a stronger case for early investment: Use research to support literacy and numeracy priorities and guide strategic decisions about the first years of schooling.
  • Understand how literacy and numeracy development connect: Explore the cognitive skills that contribute to both areas and what these connections can mean for teaching and learning.
  • Translate research into local priorities: Consider how evidence-informed approaches can support evolving literacy and numeracy priorities within your education system.
  • Strengthen early teaching and learning: Discover how high-quality instruction can establish the foundations for long-term academic progress.
  • Support greater consistency: Identify opportunities to create a more connected approach to literacy and numeracy across classrooms and schools.
