| Summary |
Learning about literacy is a social act. Young children develop the necessary skills they will need to be competent and confident readers and writers from the people around them and their environment. Children need to know about their language(s) and the sounds and all about print and its uses. They need to develop a love of books and storytelling and have the confidence to express themselves, use their imagination and be creative. It is young children's early experiences that lay the foundations for later success in learning to read and write. The sequences in this film all show important elements of early literacy skills and all involve interactions with supportive adults - mothers, fathers and early years practitioners. 18 sequences without commentary are shown in increasing age from 3 months to 5 years. These sequences are also ideal for observing language development because a rich and confident use of oral language is such a vital part of later success in formal literacy and so is prominent in all of these sequences. This video includes the following sequences: Talkers and listeners, A love of books, drawing and mark Making, Rhymes and songs, Pretend play and story telling. |
