This bundle focuses on the skills that come before reading and writing, including:

• Vocabulary growth through play

Designed for home learning families, early years children and play-based learners, this resource provides core activities, bonus literacy experiences, reflection pages and observation guidance so parents can confidently support literacy without pressure or formal instruction.

What this resource is:
A gentle foundation-building literacy support tool through play.

What this resource is not:

This standalone learning cycle is adapted from the Curious Minds Play & Learn Journey curriculum and can be used independently or alongside the full programme.
