Children Learn through Play!Through play children can….
• make their own decisions and rules,
• be on their own or learn with others,
• make sense of their experiences and recreate events,
• test out new knowledge,• move freely,• be creative• be in control,• make sense of the world,• and express themselves.
How Do Children Play Best?
• When they are given enough time to play and develop their own projects.
• When they can play with others and make relationships.• When they are free to explore on their own and be private
too.• When they can imagine and pretend.• When they can choose what they want to play with and when.• When they are given the chance to play inside and outside.
Learning to Read and WriteDeveloping
strength in their hand muscles, ready to hold a writing tool –
using play dough, chunky chalks, finger paints,
writing in sand and gloop
Encouraging a love of reading
and writing through
storytelling, sharing books,
and writing for a purpose
Using the phonics scheme ‘Letters and Sounds’ to
learn letter names, sounds and to begin to
spell and decode words
Reading and writing should be
taught within a context that is
meaningful to the children
Children need to be ready to read and write
and will develop at their own pace. They
should enjoy learning to read
and write through play
based activities
How can I encourage reading and writing at home?
