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 years can help establish the foundations students need for future learning.

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

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 primary education.
• 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.
