Hon JAN TINETTI: Ensuring that all Kiwis are developing the tools they need to lead fully functioning lives is a priority for this Government. In addition to BSLA, we have funded the Oral Language and Literacy initiative in early learning education services across eight regions to support oral language and literacy skills in low socioeconomic communities. We've updated the Ready to Read junior readers to include phonemic awareness to support our children when they first enrol at school. We've invested in Reading Together to teach parents and whānau how to read and talk with their child and build strong foundations for language and literacy. We've also focused heavily on the refresh of the literacy curriculum, the NCEA co-requisites, and learning and assessment tools.
