We are using Read, Write, Inc with our Foundation 2 classes. The other teacher loves it, but I am finding it dry and boring. How many others out there are using it and if so do you implement it exactly as it is supposed to be delivered (it is quite prescriptive). Also, where do you expect your children to be with this at the end of the year? Thanks

The upset was largely caused by myself as I felt a bit silly asking for h…

Hi in my reception class we are focusing on the emotional development of a target group of children. We are currently working with our preschool to provide opportunities for them to play alongside and with younger children aswell as targeting them in our own play environment.

He will be working with all ch…

I know this is early but I need some ideas. We normally do entry by birth date but it means that the summer born children don't start part time till about the third week in and some parents weren't happy this year. Just wondered what you all do. We've got new parent meetings in early term 5 but need to get the brochures together soon. Thanks Bec
