Learning Journeys
We are lucky to have access to an electronic learning journey where you can see what your children have been doing - playing, exploring, learning.
Please check your Tapestry account regularly for updates. We will also post messages and reminders here so it's worth a look. You can also add your own observations, photographs and comments allowing us to see the adventures you've been having at home too! |
Reading in the Foundation Stage
Reading is a vital skill that children begin to develop in the Foundation Stage.
Through the teaching of phonics, children learn to recognise letters, say the sound that each letter makes and blend sounds together to read words.
Many books in school include the Robinson family (see below). We like to introduce each family member to allow children to build their recognition of characters and names, which in turn supports their reading.
