Introduction
The draft learning area for English Years 0-6 in the New Zealand Curriculum (NZC) is now available and we welcome your valuable insights. The final version is due to be released in Term 4.

Please take the opportunity during the consultation period (26 August to 20 September) to tell us what you think.

Approach
The survey focuses on phases 1 - 2 of the draft English learning area. The questions specifically focus on the following parts:

Learning area structure: how well is this content introduced for the learning area?
Teaching Guidance: is there sufficient guidance for teachers to explicitly teach the learning area content?
Does the year-by-year teaching sequence support teaching and learning?
You will need to have the draft content available for reference as you progress through the survey. The content can be found here: Draft English Curriculum – Open for Consultation

Is this the final presentation?

The draft English learning area is currently presented as a PDF for your feedback. This is not yet formatted for online or the final hard copy. We have focus groups of teachers and principals providing advice on an online format of the curriculum.

The final version will be interactive, easy to navigate and connected to valuable resources that we will continue to add to over time including to view different aspects of the curriculum, e.g. by year group.
