Communication, Language and Literacy

We believe that early years literacy isn’t just about reading books, it is about children developing their communication and language skills.

This starts before children begin school. 

Children recognise familiar signs and word patterns.  We believe that working together as parents and teachers we can give children the best start in developing their literacy skills.

We have produced this leaflet called Read Read Read, which will explain how you can help children learn to read and write.

One of the ways children develop literacy and early reading skills is to retell favourite stories using a storyboard.  Here is the story of The Little Red Hen.  You could try this at home with one of your favourite stories.
