Developing children's numeracy and literacy skills in a preschool setting
In the preschool environment, educators use a combination of free choice play and intentional teaching experiences to support children's development and understanding of numeracy and literacy concepts. During a planned afternoon numeracy session, children were engaged in collecting gumnuts for future use. To support children's understanding of number, educators supported children in developing their counting skills, having each child count out their gumnuts before adding them to the collection.
Literacy In Action
Children's development of literacy skills are supported in a variety of ways in the preschool. From writing experiences, visits to the library for buddy reading, songs and art.
