• work on developing fine motor skills
• listen to and take part in storytelling sessions
• identify characters and follow storylines
• use audio-visual equipment for storytelling and comprehension

• participate in interactive and fun activities to build confidence and creative thinking
• play games that develop socialisation skills and be exposed to language
• expand and develop a wide range of vocabulary to express thoughts and ideas
• be encouraged to speak confidently through activities such as class discussions, role play and speech and drama.

In this course students will develop their phonic awareness and learn to recognise and pronounce 2-3 letter combinations. Students will be introduced to high frequency 'tricky words' with irregular spellings and begin to distinguish some spelling patterns. By the end of the course they will be able to write and read short sentences accurately.

Show and Tell discussions will continue to play a pivotal role in developing speaking confidence and socialisation skills.
