Choosing books with Helen Harris from Charles Dickens Primary School and Nursery

Choosing books

To support the training we have done on interactive reading Helen, our room lead in the 3-4 year old provision at our lead setting Charles Dickens Primary School and Nursery, shares  important tips on how to choose a wide variety of books to support your curriculum. Research supports the value of interactive reading in helping children in the early years progress in their communication, language and literacy development. Interactive reading is one of the approaches recommended by the EEF to help children make accelerated progress in these areas.
