Early Childhood Series in the South -

Story Tables and Small World Play

Facilitated by Amanda Bartram

Children enter the world of literacy through their play. They bring with them a wealth of literacy understandings and competencies as they enter educational settings. Taking a playful pedagogical stance to literacy values and honours children's prior learning, their dispositions for learning and holds a positive, competent view of the child. It enables children to use their natural ways of learning - playing, moving, talking, listening, observing, reading social cues, imagining and creating.

This 2-hour workshop will explore symbolic play and oral language as the roots of print-based literacy. Reading and writing depend on the conceptual understandings, knowledge and dispositions that are developed as children play. Story Tables are the perfect companion if you are also exploring the Bookmaking Literacy Approach! Your registration will include a free eBook, “Getting Started with Story Tables”, that will be emailed to you after the workshop.
