Literacy is a word that is used a lot in early years and it is so important to introduce early literacy opportunities in order to begin building the foundation to later learning. Literacy in the EYFS is split into two sections which are of course reading and writing which opens up a stream of learning opportunities from early mark making and pencil control to sharing stories and puppets.

We have recently revamped our pre-school provision and decided to make literacy a key priority. After some planning and a bit of budget spending we created a literacy corner! The children love it and really enjoy exploring what is on offer!

What is included in our literacy corner:

• Wooden archway from Community Playthings (which we already had)
• Curtains (which were donated from someone at the setting)
• Beanbags and cushions (which we already had)
• 2 plastic plants at a cost of £3.00 each.
• Selection of existing books
• Alphabet board (Printed and laminated)
• Story and nursery rhyme board (Printed and laminated)
• Story stones (Which were donated)
• 2 Story Sacks (Sacks were made at a cost of £4.00 for both and objects for them found in nursery)

Total cost : £7 !!

What ideas have you recently created?
