Foundations of Literacy
A balanced approach to language, listening and literacy in the early years

by
Sue Palmer & Ros Bayley

  Fun activities for young children to develop language, listening and phonemic awareness
   
Creative ways to build handwriting skills
   
How to develop literacy skills through music, movement, song, role play story telling and picture books
  Photocopiable materials for use in the classroom.

This popular book by literacy specialist Sue Palmer and early years consultant Ros Bayley outlines the seven strands of practice upon which successful teaching of literacy depends. It draws on the advice and experience of many professionals involved with this age-group, including speech and language therapists, music specialists, developmental psychologists and – above all – early years practitioners from the UK and beyond.

Foundations of Literacy covers the requirements of the foundation curriculum in England and recent recommendations for early years practice in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
