Communication and Language with Literacy: Foundation Blocks for the Early Years

The Foundation Blocks for the Early Years series makes it easy to implement the Department of Education's new, revised Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (September 2012). The books are clearly laid out, with one activity per page, attractive illustrations and cross references to popular early years topics. Written by experienced early years practitioners, these books will be an invaluable resource for anyone working with 3-5 year olds. This book contains activities for the prime area of Communication and Language and the specific area of Literacy. They will encourage children to speak and listen; to express themselves clearly; and to develop confidence in using language in a variety of situations. They offer opportunities for children to use and enjoy books; to learn to link sounds and letters; to develop phonic knowledge and to begin to read and write.
