About this event

A is for authors. B is for books. C is for confident readers. Reading is more than phonics! This course for Early Years practitioners will identify an array of inclusive activities to spark curiosity and creativity in young readers. We will explore ways to develop the continuous provision inside and outside, to enable children to join the ‘literacy club’. We will look at some stimulating provocations that encourage children to see themselves as readers. We will try out some book-making and story writing activities that help children to see themselves as writers as well as readers of books.

This course will enable you to:

• Review and update your understanding of early reading development;
• Reflect on how you can build on children’s early experiences of books and print at home;
• Consider new ways to nurture confidence and a love of reading through play;
• Gain practical ideas for developing creative story writing and book making.
