Making meaning
Description
This programme looks at how role play, early book experience and guided and shared reading are key elements in the approach to literacy at Blue Gate Fields Infants School. The teachers at Blue Gate talk about how they seek to enable children to develop their language and comprehension skills, while simultaneously developing a passion for the written word. This philosophy underpins the school's literacy planning. Dr Rhona Stainthorp, of the Institute of Education, reviews the recent academic research on reading for meaning.
