A comprehensive document outlining progressive developmental steps from birth to the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
It provides clear, detailed guidance on incremental stages of development, supporting accurate assessment of children working significantly below expected EYFS standards.
This resource is ideal for helping practitioners unpick children’s needs and identify precise next steps.
It also serves as an invaluable tool for subject leaders, offering insight into what each curriculum area looks like for children working developmentally well below age-related expectations (ARE). For example, it clarifies what early reading may look like for a child functioning at a 12-month developmental stage.
Designed for use in mainstream settings, the document supports the monitoring and planning of small-step progression for children with complex SEND needs.
Covers the following areas:
Self-regulation
Managing self
Building relationships
Listening & attention
Understanding
Speaking
Gross Motor Skills
Fine Motor Skills
Comprehension
Word-reading
Writing Numbers
Number patterns
Past & present
People, communities and culture
The natural world
