As the home learning is set to continue until Mid-February we completely understand that staying at home as well as tackling home learning with your children can be extremely difficult. As always we here at Hurlford ECC are here to support as best we can during this time.

If you are needing any additional support or advice this may be something that our community practitioner Michelle Colquhoun can help with.

Here are contact details for Michelle along with some topics that Michelle can help with.

Please get in touch if you feel you may need too.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRINT
🧃🥫⚠️🚑

Environmental print is the print of everyday life. It’s the print that appears on signs, labels and logo’s. It is on shop signs, street signs and food packages. Learning to read environmental print is an important pre-literacy skill.

Children can learn to read in shops, out on walks or in the home. They can identify their favourite box of cereal, snacks, films etc. It is an important step in learning to read print and helps bridge the connection between letters and the first efforts to read.

Have a look when you’re on a walk, what print do you know? What can you find around your house? Can you pick your favourites? I would love to see what prints you can identify.

I’ve also included an Environmental Print alphabet, you may recognise these prints from our wall in the ECC…. did you also spot them in Michelle’s video yesterday?

Take care,
