Our literacy lessons in the Early Years have a focus on Literacy and Communication and Language both aspects of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. They consist of learning stories and creating story maps; learning key words and phrases by heart and remembering them. We think of questions we might want to ask the characters from the story, with time to process thoughts with a partner and practice vocabulary. We sound out and spell key words from the story, learning letter formation and practising their pencil grasp; leading to Teacher's modelling a sentence, remembering and rehearsing a sentence and our children starting to have a go at writing words and/or sentences, when they are ready, using their knowledge of phonic sounds.
