Small world and role-play resources to promote communication skils and early literacy
Children make sense of their world by creating a narrative of events that they experience. Comments are made, questions asked, responses provided and conversations occur. Very often, this talk is linked to play as young children explore their world imaginatively and verbalise as they do so.
They also love to re-tell stories and narratives in their own way and early years practitioners can provide quality resources to prompt them to do so.
As open ended and non-stereotypical as possible, this range of resources is sure to facilitate their talk and representations. Role play resources, small world toys, puppets and play houses, whatever you choose, its sure to get them talking!
