I need some help please! doing a research project on promoting early literacy/the pros and cons ... ( for my age group of under 5's).......and am stuck!! any ideas please?? I have little time left to get this together. Wanted to bring it in with how the book corner can encourage this..........or discourage it! If you see what I mean....................rambling! I'd also like to tie this all in to the outdoor environment.So, ideas, therorists, pointers, tips, ideas..all welcome please. My brain is not used to belonging to me in recent months, and it's about time I brought it to heel!

Firstly, what do you mean by early literacy?

Depending on the area you decide on, I may be able to help out with some research papers because in my search for research on worksheets I got very desperate and my searches became more and more wide and ranging...

Have you looked at any publications by Ros Bayley and Sue Palmer - they put together Foundations of Literacy by Network Educational Press - it might give you some ideas!
