Developing literacy skills

This resource package includes activities to support the development of children’s literacy skills. Children are effective communicators and their communication and self-expression takes many forms. This includes the development of language and literacy skills which are interrelated and take place in everyday experiences. Children show understanding of literacy in their home and community by taking turns exploring sounds, text and patterns, singing songs, reading stories, drawing and producing approximations of writing, playing games and recording their thoughts and ideas.
