Communication, language and literacy

Our programme supports children to develop:

• conversational skills with one other person, in small groups and in large groups to talk with and listen to others;
• their vocabulary by learning the meaning of - and being able to use - new words;
• their ability to use words to describe their experiences;
• their knowledge of the sounds and letters that make up the words we use;
• their ability to listen to, and talk about, stories;
• knowledge of how to handle books and that they can be a source of stories and information;
• knowledge of the purposes for which we use writing; and
• making their own attempts at writing.
