Supporting Early Literacy 0-5

User Notes

£89.00

 

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 and are divided into the following areas :-

  • Talkers & Listeners
  • A Love of Books
  • Drawing & Mark Making
  • Rhymes & Songs
  • Pretend Play & Story Telling

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.

The accompanying user notes, written by Jennie Lindon, include transcripts of each sequence, suggestions about what you could observe, the sense you make of your observations, and the implications for sensible planning that will genuinely support young children to build firm foundations of early literacy skills.
