Families as first teachers and the abecedarian approach Australia

Families as First Teachers (FaFT) recently started working with families using the Abecedarian Approach Australia (3A) with an Aboriginal community in Far North Queensland. 3A is a responsive early childhood set of teaching and learning strategies designed to improve the quality and consistency of interactions between adults and children. It has been particularly successful in improving academic achievement of children at risk and with under-resourced families.
