Literacy

At Rachel Keeling Nursery School we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.
If you have any questions, please contact Becky Dolamore our head teacher. Curriculum folders are available in the school foyer.
Rachel Keeling has high expectations for all children. Our children are exposed to rich, exciting and challenging literature which extends their reading, writing and phonological understanding. Children develop their literacy skills using a range of strategies including:

writing about real and relevant experiences
practitioners scribing children's text
sharing real books
re-telling familiar stories
engaging with parents/carers to share stories/books at home
Practitioners using aspirational vocabulary in meaningful contexts
making their own books
writing for a range of purposes; stories, poems, shopping lists, post cards etc
targeted story sessions
acting out and narrating stories

Phonics
Practitioners scaffold and support children using initial letter sounds, blending and segmenting where appropriate within a meaningful context for children.
Children have opportunities to listen and contribute to rhymes and poems, exploring words and meaning. We use the Letters and Sounds approach in story sessions, alongside Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc resources to develop a consistent approach to teaching letters and sounds.
