KS1 English - Making Meaning

Description

This programme looks at how role play, early book experience and guided and shared reading are key elements in the approach to literacy at Blue Gate Fields Infants School.

The teachers at Blue Gate Fields talk about how enabling children to develop their language and comprehension skills, while simultaneously encouraging a passion for the written word underpins the school's literacy planning. Dr Rhona Stainthorp, of the Institute of Education, reviews the recent academic research on reading for meaning.
