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 adult sharing the story will use questioning to ensure the child understands what is happening in the pictures and what might happen next.

Reading with your child at home- nursery

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.
