PP204:Building bridges: Dramatic dialogue in early childhood

PETAA Paper 204 describes an approach to pedagogy in early childhood classrooms that introduces children to literacy through engaging them with guided drama and puppetry experiences. The author demonstrates how drama supports engagement, active interactions and reciprocal relationships. Assuming the 'mantle of the expert' empowers children to solve dilemmas, read and write important messages, and grow in their understanding of written genres. In their shared play worlds they carry on their new expertise, and apply it to further explorations of language and literacy. A balanced approach to learning is advocated, with skills and explicit instruction alongside active, exploratory learning.
