It was the high pitched voices of Manchester group, Bee Gees, who sang that 'It's only words, and words are all I have', well, here at The Learning Library we have words too, that is literacy things!

But let's firstly get into why literacy is so important...ready? OK. Let's go
Literacy can help with expressing needs, wants and emotions, this can reduce frustration and anxiety
Literacy skills can boost confidence and self esteem
Literacy skills can open doors to new knowledge, opportunities and entertainment
For further learning in school and after school, literacy is hugely important

So, what kind of resources do we have?

We have; word games and puzzles, alphabet activities, discovery items and jigsaws, phonics, homonyms and antonym resources, and much more besides!

So, just say the 'word' and get in touch, we'd love to help you out!

It's great to discover new things, we all do it, every day! Indeed, discovery can be incredibly beneficial for a number of reasons, so let's look at some these:

- Personalised Learning. Discovery can allow children to learn at their own pace, adapting to learning styles and needs

- Empowerment and Autonomy. Discovery enables children to take control of their learning, making choices and decisions that promote independence and confidence.

- Developing Skills. Discovery helps individuals develop essential skills such as, problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity, which are valuable in all aspects of life.

- Social Interaction. Discovery can facilitate social interaction through group activities, shared interests and building relationships

Furthermore, discovery can provide a flexible and adaptable approach to learning and exploration.

So what have we got?

Well, a while host of discovery boxes on a wide variety of themes

Road safety, colours, fine motor and gross motor skills, circus skills, sea discovery, dinosaurs, human body, music and sound, pirates, space, and many more!!

Get in touch and start discovering today!
