Latest accelerative learning guidance available now 

19 March, 2025

Accelerating Progress in Literacy – Teacher Guidance for Years 0-3 is available now. This resource is part of our accelerative learning guidance series for schools and kura using The New Zealand Curriculum (NZC). 

The latest guidance supports Years 0-3 teachers to use curriculum and assessment to identify student needs and provide targeted teaching to accelerate literacy progress. It helps teachers to know when to trigger targeted support, what that support could look like with practical, classroom-based activities, and how to monitor whether it has been effective. It also outlines actions for schools that received staffing resource for structured literacy support for Years 0-2. 

You can find the new teaching guidance below, as well as the related leadership guidance that was released earlier this year. More teacher guidance for literacy Years 4–6 and 7–8, along with mathematics guidance for Years 0–8, will follow.
