Content:
In response to teachers concerns about the poor language and listening skills of many children entering Key Stage 1, former headteacher and author Sue Palmer has been researching the best possible basis for language and literacy learning in the Early Years.Sue looks at the arguments for a structured but balanced orally-based curriculum and reflects on Early Years approaches developed by Galina Dolya, whose practices draw on the writings of Russian psychologist, Lev Vygotsky. This programme examines techniques demonstrated in Laying the Foundations 1. Story Grammar and Symbol Dance develop the children's symbolic literacy, and an Artographics session improves fine motor coordination needed for handwriting. Language flourishes through opportunities for self-directed play, which are seen to produce confident speakers and imaginative minds. The importance of music as a foundation to literacy is also discussed. Perseverance with phonics also brings rewards
Content:
Many children entering primary schools today appear less equipped to learn than they've ever been.Teachers claim that there's no time to sort out poor language and social skills at KS1 when SATS are looming. We ask how children could be better prepared for the challenges of Key Stage 1 literacy. Galina Dolya arrived in the UK from Russia ten years ago to introduce techniques for developmental education based on the work of psychologist Lev Vygotsky. Children's self-initiated play is considered one of the best ways to develop the skills underlying literacy and learning. Observe opportunities for child-initiated learning as well as short teacher-led group activities at a pre-school nursery. In the first state school in England to follow Galina's programme, the Foundation Stage coordinator applies a symbolic technique called Story Grammar with reception children. By Year 1, pupils who ve benefited from these foundations seem ready for a more structured literacy hour
