Reading is a huge part of our everyday nursery routine. Allowing children to get engrossed in books, using illustrations and props to enhance how they follow a story, gives children confidence to ‘have a go’ at early reading. This confidence carries over to many other learning areas, sparking imagination, curiosity and joining in related tasks such as role-play. All these skills are paramount in supporting early years children’s comprehension. We make our book areas cosy and inviting, offering a range of different book types.
Here are some of the books we have covered this half term and fun activities.
Stick Man by Julia Donaldson
Elmer the elephant by David Mckee
Owl Babies by Martin Waddell
