Topics in this helpful book include: Babies and very early communication; the importance of role-play corners; outdoor learning and literacy; how rhyme and repetition helps to develop literacy; teaching literacy to children who have English as an additional language; literacy and diversity; using picture books to develop literacy; supporting transitions and different approaches to the teaching of phonics and early reading.
