 Early Years Foundation  Stage (EYFS),

A. Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting
children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.
These are the prime areas:

1. communication and language

2. physical development

3. personal, social and emotional development

B. support children in four specific areas, through which the

three prime areas are strengthened and applied. The specific areas are:
4. literacy
5. mathematics
6. understanding the world
7. expressive arts and design

1. Communication & language

new vocabulary added, practitioners will build children's language effectively. Reading
frequently to children, and engaging them actively in stories, non-fiction, rhymes and poems, and
then providing them with extensive opportunities to use and embed new
words in a range of contexts, will give children the opportunity to thrive. Through
conversation, story-telling and role play, where children share their ideas with
support and modelling from their teacher, and sensitive questioning that invites
them to elaborate, children become comfortable using a rich range of vocabulary
and language structures.
2. Personal, Social and Emotional Development
