Using this ability during story time is useful when encouraging the children to predict and guess what they think is happening on the page.<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging the children to follow the text with your finger as you read the words shows children basic pre-reading skills and helping them to feel involved in the story telling process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h1>Reading opportunities<\/h1>\n<p>Reading opportunities are everywhere and taking these short opportunities during our daily lives will provide lots of learning experiences for our young learners, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Initial letters \u2013 \u201ccan you find the first letter from your name while we are on our walk to nursery\u201d <strong>(looking for the letter on signs, car registration plates, street signs etc.)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Names \u2013 \u201cThe post man has brought us a letter, I wonder who it is for, can you recognise who\u2019s name this is?\u201d <strong>(encouraging your child to help you read the name on the post if this is something they are showing interest in)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Environmental print \u2013 \u201cI wonder what that sign says\u201d (supermarkets, toy shops, logos, food packaging, cartoon titles \u2026 children often learn to recognise these familiar environmental prints before they are able to read the written name of these. They see these as pictures rather than reading the words and this is a good building block to being able to read. Encouraging your child to identify these during your day are beneficial in strengthening their pre-reading skills)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<header class=\"entry-header\">\n<h1 class=\"entry-title\">WRITING IN EARLY YEARS<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h1><u>Writing in Early Years<\/u><\/h1>\n<h4>Children learn best through playing, exploring and discovering real life experiences.<\/h4>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"RFAlit0New_mobilegrid_13_85_265_772_wrapper\" data-wrapper-for=\"mobilegrid_13_85_265_772\">\n<table id=\"RFAlit0New_mobilegrid_13_85_265_772\" class=\"RFAlit0New_mobilegrid_13_85_265_772\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"RFAlit0New_mobilegrid_13_85_265_772_row_0\">\n<td id=\"RFAlit0New_mobilegridcell_25_96_276_783\" class=\"RFAlit0New_mobilegridcell_25_96_276_783\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<div class=\"cell-wrapper\">\n<div id=\"RFAlit0New_mobilelabel_24_97_277_784\" class=\"RFAlit0New_mobilelabel_24_97_277_784\" data-role=\"appery_label\">\u201cWrites for enjoyment, exploring patterns and sounds, in a range of play, imaginative and real contexts\u201d. \u2013 Curriculum for excellence<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u270f\ufe0fThere are <b>many<\/b> different skills, pieces of knowledge and a cognitive understanding that comes with the skill of writing.<\/p>\n<p>\u270f\ufe0f Before a child is <b>ready<\/b> to write, we have to support and build the foundations of this skill in a variety of ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physically \u2013 strengthen the muscles in the hands.
