This series provides practical dip-in activities to support the new 'early learning goals'. The ideas will provide a collection of quick-to-use timed activities with supporting photocopiables (to include activity sheets, poems, stories and songs). EARLY WRITING will provide a wide range of activities intended to interest young children in their playing, exploring, thinking and learning. Divided into six chapters - one for each area of learning - each 8 pages long, the activities include using writing patterns to decorate fabric and create displays, making and writing message cards, invitations and booklets and writing simple signs and clues for a treasure hunt. A total of 24 photocopiables provide additional support with sheets to support writing skills and hand control, to develop skills in letter formation and to encourage independent writing. A story and poem are included.
