4. Literacy
Through handling books and sharing them with others, I will recognise that words tell stories and that words I see in the world around me tell people something. I will get the chance to see letters and words written down and to try and write them myself and use them when I play. I will learn letter names and sounds and how to blend these sounds in my reading and segment these sounds as I write. I will apply this knowledge when looking at words in books and begin to read and write sentences and captions independently. To support my learning I will have access to multi-sensory learning experiences both in our indoor and outdoor learning areas. I will have the opportunity to read on my own, with the support of my teachers and in small groups on a regular basis. I will have fun using words to talk, read and write.
