Literacy in the EYFS

Literacy is a vital area of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, helping children develop the skills they need to read and write. Through storytelling, phonics, mark-making, and sharing a wide range of books, children build a love for language and begin to understand how sounds and letters work together.

We provide a rich literacy environment where every child is encouraged to explore books, express ideas through writing, and develop early reading skills in fun, engaging ways.

Below are some pictures of our children enjoying and engaging in Literacy activities throughout the years.
