Literacy

Literacy is a specific area of learning. Literacy encompasses reading and writing. Reading and writing are taught as focus activities and are enhanced within the areas of provision. Whilst working in the areas, the children demonstrate, practice and apply their skills and knowledge. Here at Errington, we use Read Write Inc to deliver phonics. Support and information on this can be found on our parent partnership page and under ‘curriculum, early reading and writing’. Examples
