Literacy in Early Years<\/span><\/h1>\n

There are a large variety of opportunities and experiences for children to develop their Literacy skills in Early Years, through “Listening and Talking”<\/strong>, “Reading”<\/strong> and “Writing”.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We follow the Early Level of the Curriculum for Excellence, which is a learning, teaching and assessment tool that highlights and identifies different aspects of Literacy development for children ages 3-5 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

We focus on pre-literacy skills in Early Years, where children explore, investigate and practice the foundation skills that they will need in later life through education and in to adulthood. This includes, pre-writing, pre-reading and listening and talking skills. Please see these individual page tabs for further information.<\/span><\/p>\n
