During the Oral Language clustersacross the five Boards teachers agreed that :
– the difficulty level of texts needs to be considered
– learning to read should involve attending closelyto print
– comprehension develops through oral language before it develops through print
– children do not need to be able to read every word before they get another book
– children need exposure to both fiction and non fiction in the Foundation Stage
