💜💛 Little Saints 2022-2023 💛💜 We have created this short video of how far our Little Saints 2-year-old classroom has come since we opened in September 2022. We started with an empty classroom to a classroom filled with awe and wonder. The reason why we do it? THE CHILDREN Our 'Little Saints' have made incredible progress within the classroom. They have been exposed to toys and resources which they have never experienced before, made new friendships and made memories which they will remember forever!

Following on from yesterdays video, once a child is secure with segmenting and blending simple CVC words they will then move on to independently segmenting and blending in their heads. The adult's role is to promote questioning, encourage the child to predict and discuss the setting.
The children will then move from picture books to reading simple CVC words. They will be learning to segment and blend, this involves the children saying each individual phoneme in words and then blend the phonemes together to say the word. The books will also include tricky words, these are words that cannot be phonetically sounded out. The adult sharing the story will use questioning to ensure the child understands what is happening in the pictures and what might happen next.
This week we will be posting videos to support reading at home with your child in Foundation Stage. We will begin with reading with a child in nursery. The children begin interpreting picture books. Picture books are important in developing language, naming objects, developing an understanding of what is happening in the pictures and predicting what happens next. The adult plays a important role in developing these skills as they 'read' and question throughout the story.
