The children have recently become more independent, by selecting and looking through their own books. It has been wonderful to observe the children looking through the books, pointing to the different pictures and objects that they can see. Some of the children have been sharing their ideas with the other children, by looking through the books together. Over the last couple of weeks we have been focusing on reading stories, with our key children either in small groups or on a 1:1. This has been great for the children, helping them to build their confidence and to encourage their communication, by focusing on key words through out the story.
