Patterns of early primary school-based literacy interventions among Pacific children from a nationwide health screening programme of 4 year olds

Abstract Literacy success is critical to unlocking a child’s potential and enhancing their future wellbeing. Thus, the early identification and redressing of literacy needs is vital. Pacific children have, on average, the lowest literacy achievement levels in New Zealand. However, this population is...
