Literacy

In the Foundation Stage, this involves encouraging children to enjoy books and to see themselves as readers and writers, whilst they develop skills such as linking sounds with letters  to begin to read and write. Children are given access to a wide range of reading materials and opportunities to write which are meaningful to their own experiences.

Literacy ELG:

-Comprehension- Children at the expected level of development will: - Demonstrate understanding of what has been read to them by retelling stories and narratives using their own words and recently introduced vocabulary; - Anticipate – where appropriate – key events in stories; - Use and understand recently introduced vocabulary during discussions about stories, non-fiction, rhymes and poems and during role-play.

-Word Reading- Children at the expected level of development will: - Say a sound for each letter in the alphabet and at least 10 digraphs; - Read words consistent with their phonic knowledge by sound-blending; - Read aloud simple sentences and books that are consistent with their phonic knowledge, including some common exception words.

-Writing- Children at the expected level of development will: - Write recognisable letters, most of which are correctly formed; - Spell words by identifying sounds in them and representing the sounds with a letter or letters; - Write simple phrases and sentences that can be read by others.
