Part 4 of the Early Years Compass series, by a former UK nursery manager (14 years, SENCO & DSL). Early years literacy is mostly oral — this guide shows your team exactly what must happen before formal phonics, and what to do at every stage. Inside the 9-page guide: the three strands explained simply · a development map from sensory reader to code breaker across five age bands · when to look closer — including when letter-sound links won’t stick · weak vs. strong observation examples · a Next Steps bank by age band · why “kat” is a triumph and tracing isn’t teaching · what inspectors’ phonics and love-of-reading questions really assess. Plus 2 printable A4 posters: “Literacy at a glance” and “Before the letters: the ladder to reading” — the six rungs of phonological awareness every room should climb before phonics.
