- Communication and language
- Understanding the world
- Sustained shared thinking
- Looking at books
- Effective practice
- Reading
This clip starts in the middle of a conversation about a book, which develops as we watch.
Notice
- the relationship between the adult and the child
- how comments and questions are used by both the adult and the child as they discuss what they are reading
- how the adult reflects and remodels some of Anya’s speech when responding to her reflections and comments – It is important that it is a conversation that has arisen from the interests of the child, not one engineered by the adult
Reflect
Refer back to the ELGs for Language and Communication.
- Anya is fascinated by this book and has spent a long time looking at it. When the adult joins her the conversation becomes one of sharing knowledge and new vocabulary being practiced while things are clarified
- What does the adult do?
- Which other Early Learning Goals are being demonstrated here?
