EYFS coverage overview

Reading in Foundation Stage focuses on the development of: 

• Listening, enjoying and joining in with stories and rhymes
• Learning basic book/text conventions – cover, title, left to right, top to bottom
• Talking about characters, setting and plot (prediction and recall)

• Demonstrate an understanding, when talking with others, about what they have read
