Hon JAN TINETTI: While we're still in the early days of this programme, early data is showing that the majority of five-year-old learners are able to transfer their emerging phoneme awareness and phonic knowledge to the reading and spelling of words that they haven't seen before. We are also seeing strong evidence that the delivery model is supporting positive changes to teaching practices. Feedback from teachers to date has been very positive about BSLA and the difference it is making to their teaching practice and learning outcomes for their students. This shows that the Government's approach to working alongside the teaching profession, students, experts, and community is lifting literacy achievement in New Zealand.
