Developing literacy with young children does not have one defined, clear path. Instead, we should look at varied ways to engage, excite and encourage young children. Working with stories to support early understanding of literacy is an excellent method for children to learn new vocabulary, sentence structures, story structures and language.

In this webinar Jess Gosling will look at tried and tested techniques from her own classroom, of developing literacy skills in young children and discuss:

• The importance of Reading
• Sharing Songs, Rhymes, and Events
• Reading in groups
• Blank’s Levels of Questioning
• Helicopter Stories
• Story Planning
• Creating Books and Story Sacks
