Literacy
This collection of clips looks at examples of children reaching (or almost reaching suggesting they will be there at the end of summer term) the early learning goals for Literacy. You can use these clips to support your understanding of what being within the goals looks like. There are questions to support your thinking before and after watching each clip. You can refer back to the ELGs for Literacy on this page whenever you need to.
