Specific Areas Of Learning
Literacy
The ‘specific’ areas give children a chance to explore and apply the skills they’ve learned in the prime areas. These activities encourage discovery, creativity, and understanding of the world. The specific areas are:
Developing a Love of Stories, Songs, and Rhymes
Encouraging children to enjoy books, singing, and rhymes, which helps them connect with language in a fun way and builds a strong foundation for reading.
Understanding Stories
Helping children follow along with stories, remember what happened, and talk about characters and events, which improves their comprehension skills and ability to make connections.
Writing
Introducing children to early writing skills, like drawing, scribbling, and forming letters, which helps them develop the fine motor skills and confidence needed to begin writing words and expressing ideas
