Language and literacy

This text provides the early years educator with a wide range of activities to deliver a structured language programme in their nursery, playgroup or reception class.

It includes information on the Desirable Outcomes for language and literacy, child development, inspection requirements, assessment and record-keeping.

The practical activity ideas deal with talking and listening, expressive language, reading skills, sharing books and early writing skills.

In addition, there are photocopiable activity sheets, a selection of stories, rhymes and songs to support the main activities in the book.
