This video was created by the National Literacy Trust on World Book Day, shining a light on the incredible work taking place in EYFS at Plover School to promote early reading.
The aim of their work is simple but powerful: to help families understand the value of sharing stories with their children from the very beginning, and to inspire a lifelong love of books.
Children in Nursery and Reception were treated to special storytelling sessions and each received a book to take home – making reading part of life at home as well as in school.
The National Literacy Trust continues to be an active partner in Plover’s current Expeditions, supporting Nursery children with songs and rhymes, and helping Reception pupils create their own stories. They are also training our EYFS staff to become Early Years Literacy Champions, building confidence and expertise across the team.
This partnership is a brilliant example of how purposeful collaboration can enrich learning, support families, and spark a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.
