Early reading is the foundation for future learning. In the EYFS, we prioritise developing a love of stories, rhymes and books while teaching children the essential skills of phonics. This combination helps children to build strong language, communication and comprehension skills from the very start. Parental support plays a crucial role in this journey – sharing books at home, listening to children read, and modelling a love of reading all help to reinforce the skills taught in school. By working together, we can nurture confident, enthusiastic readers who are well-prepared for lifelong learning.
