Literacy For All in our Playrooms – Year 2

Literacy for all in our Playrooms is a career long professional learning programme designed to support the development of early language development for our young learners. For session year one the focus will be on listening, talking and early conversational skills. In year two, we continue to develop this further with a focus on reading and early writing and mark making.
